Ch. 1. Introduction -- Ch. 2. Le bon’s description of the group mind -- Ch. 3. Other accounts of collective mental life -- Ch. 4. Suggestion and libido -- Ch. 5.

The group and the primal horde -- Ch. 11. A differentiating grade in the ego -- Ch. 12. Postscript.

Summary: The contrast between Individual Psychology and Social or Group Psychology, which at a first glance may seem to be full of significance, loses a great deal of its sharpness when it is examined more closely. It is true that Individual Psychology is concerned with the individual man and explores the paths by which he seeks to find satisfaction for his instincts; but only rarely and under certain exceptional conditions is Individual Psychology in a position to disregard the I relations of this individual to others.
