Resumen
Se analiza el origen de los grupos de crecimiento personal (GCP) que tuvo su fundamento en las ideas y técnicas de intervención de cuatro fuentes principales: las aportaciones del trabajo del National Training Laboratory (NTL), de la psicología humanista, de los “grupos maratón” y de los grupos de “encuentro abierto”. Asimismo,se exponen las características de los GCP que básicamente consisten en la realización de un conjunto planificado de actividades en grupo, en un entorno relajado y seguro, que incluyen ejercicios y reuniones en grupos pequeños que combinan de modo equilibrado la comunicación interpersonal, la experiencia emocional y la reflexión. Tienen básicamente un carácter vivencial y no académico. El hecho de que los grupos se lleven a cabo de modo intensivo y en un entorno aislado facilita la toma de distancia temporal de los problemas personales e interpersonales, así como el aislamiento de las influencias del entorno que dificultan la concentración en el análisis y la reflexión. Los GCP proporcionan la oportunidad de establecer nuevas relaciones personales y la oportunidad de analizar, con la ayuda del resto de participantes, el origen y circunstancias de los problemas personales y de relación, lo que habitualmente produce un aumento y mejora de las relaciones interpersonales y de la consciencia intrapersonal.
The origin of the personal growth groups (PDG) is analyzed, which had its foundation in the ideas and intervention techniques of four main sources: the contributions of the work of the National Training Laboratory (NTL), of the humanistic psychology, of the “groups marathon ”and“ of the open meeting ”groups. Likewise, the characteristics of the PDG´s are exposed, which basically consist of carrying out a planned set of group activities, in a relaxed and safe environment, which include exercises and meetings in small groups that combine interpersonal communication, emotional experience and reflection. They basically have an experiential and non-academic character. The fact that the groups are carried out intensively and in an isolated environment facilitates the temporary distancing of personal and interpersonal problems, as well as the isolation from environmental influences that hinder concentration in analysis and reflection. PDG´s provide the opportunity to establish new personal relationships and the opportunity to analyze, with the help of the rest of the participants, the origin and circumstances of personal and relationship problems, which usually produces an increase and improvement in interpersonal relationships and intrapersonal consciousness
