The Hall of Mirrors in Small, Large and Virtual Groups

Philosophy, literature, mythology and psychoanalysis present the double face of mirroring. In this paper we examine the conditions for benevolent mirroring and the types of destructive one, focusing on the ‘hall of mirrors’ concept of Foulkes and Anthony. We also analyze the possibilities for mirroring in the large group and the virtual environment.

Key Words: group analysis • large group • destructive and benevolent mirroring • cyberspace • projective identification
