Abstract

This paper analyzes Lewin's legacy for small-groups research. Lewin is widely viewed as the “father” of small-groups research. The paper proposes, however, that his influence was primarily indirect and not always positive. Both Lewin's positive and his negative influences on small-groups research are discussed. A more realistic image of Lewin and his legacy emerge as a result.
