THE PIONEER OF THE GROUP ENCOUNTER MOVEMENT
Keywords:
GROUP ENCOUNTER MOVEMENTAbstract
A brief survey of the origin and development of the group movement is extremely necessary but a most difficult task due to the embryonic stage of the movement. Carl Rogers writes, "It would, in fact, be surprising-and perhaps worse-if we were all that sure all this soon about what they are, because the group experience is so new. It is a potent new cultural development, an exciting social invention, a truly grass roots movement that has grown out of personal, organizational and social needs." 1 Rogers is really saying the Group Encounter Movement has finally become a reality, although, it is quite clear that the movement is apparently viewed as a very recent phenomenon. Due to this contemporary phenomenon, there are many conflicting attitudes regarding the genealogy of the Movement.
