The authors examine processes involved in group sensitivity training and cite various studies and points of view that attempt to explain the emotional impact such training has in encouraging behavioral and attitude modification. They suggest that the changes that may be induced through sensitivity training appear to be similar to those that may be induced through psychotherapy. If it is possible through further investigation to specify what it is that seems to induce change in the public situation of the sensitivity training group, then it may be possible to learn more about what is effective in the therapeutic situation.
