Sensitivity training
Sensitivity training is a learning process designed to develop an individual's self-awareness and sensitivity to other people and the environment. Sensitivity training takes place in a group of from 8 to 20 persons, including a leader. Members of this encounter group speak openly about their feelings and reactions to others in the group. Some group leaders involve members in various games to produce strong emotional experiences. These games include such activities as having two members stare into each other's eyes, or having a member act out a feeling of affection or anger.
