This is called: a virtual sense of community. People sitting isolated in
their homes behind their computers, instead of visiting each other, sharing
meals, listening to each other. No wonder that in our extremely indivualised
Western societies sales of anti-deppressants are so sky-high.

Some social psychologists have found that Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are
creating more and more a sense of community in a new form. I just do not
remember where is I saw the research

Hi Dan and Mary,
I really appreciate reading your thoughts on this. My feeling is that it is
important to work in a group setting for the sake of the community. I have
no doubt it can be hard to attract a group and no doubt that that could be
explored in other arenas, but sense is that in the Western world - and
particularly in America, we have less and less sense of community and more
and more sense of our disconnectedness to others. Individual psychotherapy
is a means of continuing this way of being. The group situation is very
powerful and the feeling of love that one experiences for the group can be
brought into our local fragmented disconnected communities. We are all
connected, though it is so easy to forget this.
