This workshop will
illustrate how men and women struggle for intimacy in groups,
including through competition, avoidance, or mutual sharing and
enjoyment. Participants will analyze the way in which group members
compete for intimacy, detect potentially destructive by-products of
competition like envy and jealousy, and identify gender differences
in competition.
