Abstract
Matriculation is referred to in the sense of entry to further education and plays with the subjunctive, `What if Foulkes had conceptualized the matrices as being structure of mind?'
This article constructs a group-analytic psychical structure of the individual mind made up of the Personal, Dynamic and Social Matrices. Resonance between the matrices is then recognized as a source of psychic energy with sufficient power to lift the repression barrier causing painful affects and memories to come into consciousness. This article develops Foulkes' concept of resonance.
