Editing Group dynamics (section)

===William Schutz===
{{Main|William Schutz}}
William Schutz (1958, 1966) looked at [[interpersonal relationships|interpersonal relations]]  as stage-developmental, inclusion (am I included?), control (who is top dog here?), and affection (do I belong here?).  Schutz sees groups resolving each issue in turn in order to be able to progress to the next stage.

Conversely, a struggling group can devolve to an earlier stage, if unable to resolve outstanding issues at its present stage. 
Schutz referred to these group dynamics as "the interpersonal underworld," group processes which are largely unseen and un-acknowledged, as opposed to "content" issues, which are nominally the agenda of group meetings.<ref>Schutz, W.
