Sociometrists seek ways to enliven interactive processes, which make the spontaneity state
more accessible while addressing norms and structures that inhibit and distance people
from one another. A high value is placed on integration, coherence, empathic processes,
authenticity, and creative solving of shared concerns. The ultimate purpose is
transcendence. However, as the director, how can that happen if my own ego is in the
way? What happens if I focus outside of myself and become annoyed at and do not
surrender myself to the group process? The challenge becomes one of, ‘‘How do I let go of
control as a group leader? How do I increase my own trust in the group process?’’
