Encounter groups are designed to promote personal growth and interpersonal communication. By what means do they accomplish this?
  1. They encourage participants to openly share emotion
  2. They encourage participants to tell it like it is to each other
  3. They encourage participants to have intense confrontations
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - Encounter groups promote personal growth and interpersonal communication by encouraging participants to openly share emotion, to tell it like it is to each other, and to have intense confrontations. These groups are not for the faint of heart. Everything is out front and open, this includes tearing down one another’s defenses, openly sharing emotions, and talking straight with one another. This type of group is not for people who are seriously disturbed.
