Preferred term

group dissolution  

Definition

  • Group dissolution is a topic that has attracted much attention recently. Scientists are interested in theoretical issues, such as how and why groups dissolve, whereas practitioners are interested in more pragmatic issues, such as how to delay the dissolution of groups that are helpful (e.g., self-help groups) and how to hasten the dissolution of groups that are harmful (e.g., youth gangs, terrorist cells).
