	Large Group Awareness Training
		A large group awareness training (LGAT) program is a personal development training program in which dozens to hundreds of people are given several hours to several days of intense instruction aimed at helping participants begin to discover what is hindering them from achieving their full potential and living more satisfied lives.
		LGAT programs have also been developed for corporations and public agencies, where the focus is on improving management skills, conflict resolution, general institutional strengthening, and dealing with the eternal problem of employees who drink too much or use too many drugs.
		LGAT gurus claim to know why their participants are not happy or why they are not living fulfilled lives.

	LGAT
		LGATs tend to brief but intense sessions of a few hours or days in which participants ideally adopt the message of the training promptly and enthusiastically.
		Some see the classic LGATs as utilizing peer pressure and group dynamics in a high-pressure sales environment to promote uncritical psycho-babbling togetherness and thus to market nebulous memes and a propensity to recruit new participants into a participation-oriented pyramid scheme under the guise of providing useful training.
		Historically, LGAT origins trace back, at least in part, to the encounter group movement of the 1960s.

	Large Group Awareness Training - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LGAT sessions tend to provide brief but intense experiences of a few hours or days in which, ideally, participants adopt the message of the 'training' promptly and enthusiastically.
		Critics see the classic LGAT as utilizing peer pressure and group dynamics in a high-pressure sales environment that promotes uncritical psychobabbling togetherness and thus markets nebulous memes; and as fostering a propensity to recruit new participants into a participation-oriented pyramid scheme under the guise of providing useful training.
		They reject the (implied or explicit) suggestion that classification as an LGAT brands their group as a cult, or as in some (specified or unspecified) way "cult-like".

	LGAT
		LGAT programy vznikli aj pre korporácie a verejné agentúry, kde sa zameriavajú na zlepšenie manažerských schopností, riešenie konfliktov, všeobecné inštitucionálne posilnenie a na riešenie večných problémov zamestnancov, čo pijú alebo užívajú drogy.
		Guruovia na LGAT tvrdia, že vedia ako pomôcť ľuďom stať sa tvorivejšimi, inteligentnými a psychologicky a ekonomicky zdravšími.
		Hoci niektoré obhajujú vizualizáciu, sebahypnózu a iné techniky na dosiahnutie sebarealizácie, väčšina LGAT programov sa zameriava na komunikačné schopnosti a vplyv jazyka na myslenie a správanie.

	The Mary Polaski "L" Series
		It is a matter of fact that LGAT is not a legally prescribed practice of psychology, and it is undisputed that LGAT is not conducted according to the traditions of psychotherapy.
		LGAT is not a professional practice of psychology, and therefore is not bound by the ethical code of that profession.
		The only explanations that come to mind for endorsements of LGAT by psychologists or psychiatrists is that professionals endorsing LGAT either have lost their objectivity by becoming "converts" themselves, or else as long-time practitioners are so well defended against psychological attack that they underestimate the effect of LGAT on the inexperienced and sensitive layman.

	Study: Group LGAT, "Large Group Awareness Trainings," Langone
		Some observers and scientific researchers have also associated some LGATs with at least the potential to cause psychological distress to some participants.
		This is because the consumers who seek information from AFF are likely to have already been exposed to the sophisticated "sales" packages and activities that most such trainings excel at producing.\ There is no shortage of glowing testimonies and four-color brochures lauding the benefits of these programs.
		The research and anecdotal evidence seem to indicate that LGATs are very successful at producing positive opinions about the trainings -- an outcome that the financial officers of every service business would value.

		If an LGAT is reputible, (and I don't know of any), they should disclose their philosophy and the psychological processes used.
		My idea of a good LGAT would be something where, after just one or two seminars, you dont need the LGAT any more because you've achieved solid benefits and can apply them in any setting, not needing to return to the LGAT to keep the high going.
		Another sign of a good LGAT is they are set up to ensure that you have plenty of time to sleep and there is private time structured right in so that you can go off by yourself, or take a cat nap.

		The current research aimed to describe the range of experiences that recent participants associated with their LGAT attendance and to develop understanding of the way in which these experiences were perceived to have affected them.
		Participants' experiences of LGAT were described in terms of how they saw themselves as having been influenced to participate, what they perceived to be the important aspects of the LGAT experience, how they perceived it to affect them and how they were influenced to continue or leave.
		Within their narratives, support could be found for a range of models that have been used to explain positive effects of LGAT (such as models of individual and group therapy) although no single model could account for all aspects of the LGAT experience.

	Andie's Web - The Book On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are - Alan Watts
		Occasionally, one rogue trainee in LGAT training (about 1 in 1000) will experience adverse mental effects due to the self-exploratory nature of these realizations, and begin to exhibit signs of paranoia and mild psychosis.
		The theme that runs between Watts' philosophical work and LGAT, is that it operates on the postulate that at the base of reality is nothing, and humanity creates many paths and veils of culture, behavior, philosophy, religion, and science surrounding this vacuum of essential meaninglessness.
		The only outspoken complainers about LGAT and Eastern thought in the United States are cult decriers, claiming self awareness as a threat posed to Western culture and general mental safety.
