	AHP - A GUIDE TO HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY
		So an encounter group is an intense and unpredictable affair, where the leader is very active in suggesting ways of pursuing a person's problem, using techniques taken from gestalt, psychodrama, primal, psychosynthesis, healing, bioenergetics and anything else which may be useful.
		Encounter groups are very good for working through interpersonal issues such as shyness, talkativeness, inability to express anger, difficulties in handling closeness, not knowing what to say to people and all that kind of thing, because the leader can encourage very direct confrontation on such matters.
		It is not possible to have a leaderless encounter group, because of the very central and demanding role of the leader, but it is possible to have an encounter group where the leadership shifts from one person to another, either spontaneously or by design.

	The Basic Encounter Group, Person-Centered International, Counseling / Therapy / Education / Workshops (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		An examination of the basic encounter group from the perspective of the fundamental premises of the, person-centered approach, rather than on response patterns of therapists, offers a rationale that leads to the conclusion that the person-centered basic encounter group is unique.
		The facilitator of the group encounter requires the same fluency as the individual therapist to ‘be fluent in the moment-to-moment action of persons in relationship without resorting to speculation and explanations of process’ (Wood, 1983, p.
		The fundamental assumption of the person-centered approach in groups is that each individual has the capacity to allow her or his innate potential (inner healer, inner self) to develop in order to become personally empowered to move in a constructive (albeit idiosyncratic) direction for self and society.

	[No title]
		Encounter groups are short-term, intensive sessions, usually managed by trained leaders, which consist of exercises designed to explore and unmask inner feelings.
		The encounter group setting is supposed to provide a totally non-judgmental environment, where the individual would be accepted as he or she is, regardless of their background or psychological baggage.
		Like the encounter group movement of the 70's, the ending affirmation ceremony is shallow and short, the study series is over, and men must return to their real lives and problems.

	Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology: Encounter group
		Encounter groups are formed, usually under the guidance and leadership of a psychologists or therapist, to provide an environment for intensive interaction.
		Encounter group members are encouraged to fully examine and explore their reactions to, and feelings about, statements made, and issues raised, in the group.
		Proponents of the encounter group form of psychotherapy tend to believe that the behavior of an individual is shaped to a very large degree by responsive adaptation to the attitudes of other individuals, and that encounter groups enable individuals to discover and modify behavior that is perceived as inappropriate.

	Encounters in the Harnalda locale
		Encounters within this radius will always be with one of the Rhudaurim groups as their presence has run off most of the animals from the area.
		Encounters should be rolled for every two hours due to the high saturation of Rhudaurim forces in the area.
		For nighttime encounters simply subtract 10% from the Base chance and if an encounter is rolled, keep re-rolling on the appropriate table until one of the patrols (small or large) is picked.

	groupwork @ the informal education bibliography
		Useful text exploring group processes; the probable effects of those processes in 'natural' groups (the family, friendship groups, work organizations, teams, committees); the probable effects of group processes in the design and function of special environments (residential institutions, therapeutic environments and communities, specific types of 'created' groups); and implications.
		Developmental group work, according to Button, is concerned with helping people in their growth and development, in their social skills, and in the other kinds of the relationships they establish.

	CHAPTER 1
		In the first encounter of a group that is process oriented, most people are expecting that the experience will be very different from any group they have been involved in.
		Group members who display selfishness soon learn that it is not tolerated, so in fact group members learn the opposite (e.g., to be a better listeners and more open to others).
		Most group members want to be as objective as possible in their judgments, yet there are some aspects of human perception that are not as objective as is thought.

	encounter group. The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002
		A method of psychotherapy developed in the 1960s, in which a small group of people engages in intensive interactions to increase self-awareness and improve interpersonal relations.
		Group members are encouraged to be completely honest and open, reacting to one another with their immediate feelings, while exploring the entire range of emotions.
		‡ Often associated with the radical social upheaval of the 1960s, encounter groups have been criticized for their potentially damaging effects, because many groups are led by people not professionally trained in psychotherapy.

	Encounter Groups
		The assumption in these groups is similar to that of person-centered therapy: the individual will grow in a positive way by resisting social restrictions and by interacting with others honestly and openly.
		Sensitivity training groups originally tended to be less extreme than encounter groups, although the distinction between the two is thin, and the terms are often used interchangeably.
		The group may meet for several hours a week over some period of months, or it may meet as a marathon group for 24 continuous hours or more, with individuals dropping out for naps.

	The last word
		The psychological safety of the group which encourages the expression of feelings that are often difficult to express outside the group, ensures that members are confident about asking for the support they need, and are encouraged to tell others what is expected of them.
		In cooperative learning groups, for example, the facilitator develops exercises and activities and manages time and resources; in collaborative and transformative learning groups, however, the facilitator is more of an equal partner in the learning, although in the collaborative learning group, the facilitator must assume the responsibility for maintaining the group process.
		The "T" stands for "training", and the groups are involved in training in human relations skills, whereby individuals are taught to observe the nature of their interactions with others and of the group process.

	encounters @ the informal education homepage
		The encounter group, which seemed such a feature of personal growth activity and training for group work and informal education, has fast become a fading memory.
		It has been overtaken by the development of the theory and practice therapy groups; the shift to a concern for the possession of competencies in many professional arenas; and the explosion of various alternative therapies and experiences on the personal growth front.
		It appears to be in encounter 'that the creative, redemptive, and revelatory processes take place which Buber associates with the dialogical life' (op cit.).

		In a sense, the church is a group.
		And its action is group action, even allowing for the fact that it could not operate as a group if it were not for the motivated individuals that comprise it.
		But, again, the concern is not that the church in any place is a group (in some sense of that term), but that the church has been affected adversely by the group psychology that has swept the country.

		Anyone who promoted encounter groups among Catholics was promoting ipso facto their demise as Catholics, even if he did so in the name of liberation and with that as his intent.
		Encounter groups, as Rogers himself indicates by his oblique reference to Kurt Lewin in describing the sources of sensitivity training, were a creation of the CIA’s psychological warfare campaign.
		The second main source of Encounter Groups was Gestalt Therapy, a creation of Fritz Perls and Paul Goodman, which was just as antithetical to Catholic sexual morality as the psychological warfare of the WASP elite.

		Because of the unstructured nature of the group, the major problem faced by the participants is how they are going to use their time together - whether it be eighteen hours of a week-end or forty or more hours in a one-week group.
		Thus one of the most common developments is that a sense of trust slowly begins to build, and also a sense of warmth and liking for other members of the group.
		Thus, in such a group the individual comes to know himself and each of the others more completely than is possible in the usual social or working relationships.

		Leaders of various civil rights groups have asked the Government to order an enquiry into the Manala encounter either by the Central Bureau of Investigation or by an impartial agency, as the way in which the ten Maoists were killed on March 7, raised several doubts.
		It was strange that the Minister and the DGP had come to a conclusion on the encounter killings just 15 minutes after the incident, they pointed out and said that after encounter no steps were initiated to enquire into it as per the law.
		The leaders observed that the Manala encounter had given ample scope for doubts as the spot (hill slope) where the bodies of the slain naxalites remained after the alleged exchange of fire, was such that it could not be possible for naxalites to fire on the police.

	Introducing Dr. William Coulson edited by Don Matzat
		One of the popular methods of psychotherapy in the 60's and 70's was the "encounter group." The participants in such groups, under the direction of a facilitator, were encouraged to unmask their real feelings as they interacted with the other group participants.
		As an initial experiment, Rogers and Coulson introduced the "encounter group" dynamic into the Order of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in southern California.
		An older nun in the group, 'freeing herself to be more expressive of who she really was internally,' decided that she wanted to make love to Sister Mary Benjamin.
