 Well, are you familiar with Wilfred Bion's Experiences in Groups? Fight or 
Flight, etc.?

Oh yes, the Tavistock Group. I have done quite a bit of work with persons 
suffering from PTSD. In addition to individual work, I also have them work in 
groups. Some of these persons have gone on to help with a crisis intervention 
team I direct which responds to such events as shootings, mine accidents and 
other such traumatic events. There is healing in helping.

Myself, I worked with Carl Rogers in the 60s at the "Institute for the Study 
of the Person" in California.

As for "fight or flight"; if you're referring to the Wikien-l List - I very 
probably will choose the fight. Besides I'm getting old - I don't 'flight' 
very fast anymore :-)

No, "Flight or fight" is one of the states a group can get into, a singularly 
unproductive state during which little gets done.
