Large Group Awareness Traing (Finkelstein, Wenegrat & Yalom, 1982).
The 1982 article entitled "Large Group Awareness Training" by the authors above, from Stanford University's department of psychiatry, was the among the first peer-reviewed articles on LGATs. I make numerous references to this review article in my PhD and have wondered why, in spite of their insistence that further research on LGATs be conducted, that none of these authors did any further research.
The following website (http://www.upstartlogic.com/Peter-finkelstein-MD) explains what these doctors (psychiatrists) have been up to since being exposed to the LGAT industry. Since I'm apparently mentally ill, I'll allow you to draw your own conclusions about this:
"Although trained as a physician and psychiatrist, Peter (Finkelstein) has worked for the past fifteen years helping organizations achieve higher performance by examining and changing their internal dynamics, leadership and team practices, and culture. What connects his work as a business consultant with his training as a physician is the universal element of discovery and diagnosis—not at the individual level, as in the practice of medicine, but at the organizational or team level that is so closely connected with business performance."
"From 2000 to 2002, Peter was head of corporate development for Critical Point Software, a natural language software company that he cofounded with Jeff Davitz, Ph.D., and Brant Wenegrat, M.D."
I'd appreciate it if someone "sane" would look into this and let me (all of us) know if this seems a little bit suspicious.
