Such groups (also called [[T-group (social psychology)|"T" (training) groups]] and "[[sensitivity training]]" groups) explored new models of [[interpersonal communication]] and the intensification of [[psychology|psychological]] experience. The first groups were experimental efforts by health researchers and workers, trying to move away from the "sickness" [[group work]] model used in the psychiatric industries of the time. In later years, these pioneering groups evolved into educational and treatment schemes for non-psychiatric people. | Such groups (also called [[T-group (social psychology)|"T" (training) groups]] and "[[sensitivity training]]" groups) explored new models of [[interpersonal communication]] and the intensification of [[psychology|psychological]] experience.
