COMMUNICATIONAbstract
Somehow we have taken to the notion that more effective interpersonal communication can be taught-and, indeed, should properly be taughtwith the help of our new educational technology, especially television and radio. We feel we are now on the threshold of some sharply increasing activity in this area. With the simultaneous rise of our new media and the rapidly expanding interest in human relations learning, both within the supportive context of the "Third School" movement, it seems to us almost inevitable that the mass media is soon used for heuristic needs. It is claimed that roughly two-thirds of the persons who participate in communication workshops or human relations labs do increase their interpersonal competence.
