Translator disclaimer

This article posits a relationship between individual action and group action, between individual psychological structure and collective social function. It further asserts that awareness of this relationship can be used to explain historical events related to autocracy, dictatorship, and totalitarianism. The author suggests that there is a continuous relationship and synergy between individual and group dynamics which can be analyzed transactionally, and which involves individuals, nations, groups of nations, and, eventually, all nations.
