Bossard's statement of the law of family interaction as a precise mathematical statement of the relation between the number of persons in the group and the number of their relationships is inadequate because it assumes that all such relationships are symmetrical, whereas, in fact, they may very well be nonsymmetrical at either the manifest or the parataxic levels or at both levels. The application of this law to problems of group or personality dynamics is further limited by the fact that the quality of interpersonal integrations is often of more significance than their mere number
