From External Marginality to Internal Marginality in Groups

Luc Michel

University Outpatient Clinic, Lausanneluc.michel{at}sasc.unil.ch

Marginality takes a particular place in any group, be it social, cultural or therapeutic. This article discusses a hypothesis considering marginality in a group as an area of particular interest for the process of change. Marginality considered as a border space between the group inside and outside, offers an important potential, both creative and destructive.

Key Words: border • change • creativity • destructivity • group analysis • marginality
