520			_aThe last two decades have seen the emergence of the now familiar but still controversial encounter group. It has been an outstandingly successful, immensely influential therapy, and the American psychologist Carl Rogers here describes both 'what an encounter group is, and what it can mean'. Committed to 'growth, health, constructive change', the 'intensive group experience' allows us to explore our normally overlooked emotional lives in a caring social context. Amid the hi-tech and high competitiveness of the West its humanistic practices can help to overcome stress and personal conflict; this book examines how the groups work (with extensive quotation from actual participants), what they can achieve, and the past and possible future of the movement. Ultimately, 'we have an opportunity to choose the kind of person we will create'.
