Product Description
From the Author
consultations about scapegoating
ever since Up from Scapegoating has been available on amazon.com I recieved a number of consultation requests from individuals and subgroups who've experienced the scapegoating phenomena and want help. They've ranged from requests by lawyers to help with scapegoated, abused clients who want a handle on group process to members of religious communities who find themselves isolated by the blanket of goodness and denial to students in schools finding a class process to be powerfully scapegoating--often of friends as well as themselves. Each one takes some analyzing but I think there should be a group of people who are interested and can do something to advance a general theoy and practice. The dynamics of victimization by groups attempting to exclude and excommunicate for the purpose of their own wholeness is common to all kind of abuse.

Hmmm.,
By Whitnie Kramer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Up from Scapegoating: Awakening Consciousness in Groups (Paperback)
I think that this book has a wonderful subject and I really learned a lot from it. It is about finding balance between the individual consciousness and the group consciousness. Also it talks about the concept of the shadow and the scapegoat, which are the dark aspects of personal and groups that we choose to block out or push upon someone or something.
However, it was a very hard read and took a long time to grasp what the author was saying. 10 of 21 people found the following review helpful:
