Abstract
The median group represents the most significant development of group-analytic ideas applied to a broader group context. This article provides a brief overview of the development of theoretical understanding of the median group and the dynamic processes that are activated within the median group. The median group can be used to encourage dialogue and understanding, and can offer a unique space for learning the skills of thinking and feeling in the presence of others. The aim of this article is to highlight the possibilities of using the median group in both therapeutic and non-therapeutic contexts, for the purpose of promoting dialogue and understanding when it comes to the relationships within organizations, communities, and the society as a whole
