SYNOPSIS
The author draws attention to the increase in activities, in Australia as elsewhere, which might be subsumed under the rubric “The Human Relations Movement”. Various authors have commented on the dangers to naive participants in some “human relations” activities, whilst other authors point to the apparently valuable outcomes of such activities, even for professional trainees of various kinds. It seems likely that the “Human Relations Movement” and the body of psychiatrists have much to teach and to learn from one another.
