While in principle groups for survivors are a good idea, in practice it soon becomes apparent that to organize a successful group is no simple matter. Groups that start out with hope and promise can dissolve acrimoniously, causing pain and disappointment to all involved. The destructive potential of groups is equal to their therapeutic promise. The role of the group leader carries with it a risk of the irresponsible exercise of authority.Conflicts that erupt among group members can all too easily re-create the dynamics of the traumatic event, with group members assuming the roles of perpetrator, accomplice, bystander, victim, and rescuer. Such conflicts can be hurtful to individual participants and can lead to the group__ demise. In order to be successful, a group must have a clear and focused understanding of its therapeutic task and a structure that protects all participants adequately against the dangers of traumatic reenactment. Though groups may vary widely in composition and structure, these basic conditions must be fulfilled without exception.Commonality with other people carries with it all the meanings of the word common. It means belonging to a society, having a public role, being part of that which is universal. It means having a feeling of familiarity, of being known, of communion. It means taking part in the customary, the commonplace, the ordinary, and the everyday. It also carries with it a feeling of smallness, or insignificance, a sense that one__ own troubles are __s a drop of rain in the sea._ The survivor who has achieved commonality with others can rest from her labors. Her recovery is accomplished; all that remains before her is her life.

General Wood during the whole course of the investigations took the greatest interest in the experiments, and assisted the Board in every way he could.

I'm always with you:-Hey,I'm with you,I'm always standing behind you ,To hold you whenever you fall.To fix your broken pieces,To hold your side &To hold your hand, even if everyone else refuse to.I'm always with you,No matter how much hard it become,& It doesn't matter, even if we had fight or some misunderstandings,Or since how long we last talked,But whenever you're in need,I'm always with you.I'm always with you,Without asking a single thing from you in return,Not even with any expectations,I'm with you because,I believe in you,I always care,I always understand things,That you fail to explain,That you feel shy to share& I understand even if you don't say.That's why I'm always with you..! _
