Abstract
This is the second of two articles examining the pervasiveness of religious, primitive and magical thinking in the culture of group analysis. It commences with a brief outline of the standpoint from which I view supernatural ideas and the groups they animate. It then looks at the role Patrick de Maré’s writings appears to play in the culture of group analysis. It concludes with the sharp contrast between natural and supernatural approaches to understanding large group phenomena.
