The Evolution of LGAT-providers
Lou Kilzer, in The Rocky Mountain News, identified Leadership Dynamics as the first of the genre of what psychologists termed "Large Group Awareness Training".
In their self-published book, Navarro and Navarro identify Mind Dynamics as the major forerunner of large group awareness trainings. They write that, although Mind Dynamics itself existed only briefly, it sparked an industry of similar trainings.
Groups and trainings such as Lifespring, Erhard Seminars Training, IMPACT Trainings, The Forum, Newfield Consulting, Seres Naturales and Landmark Education claimed to have worked to improve people's overall level of satisfaction and interpersonal relations through group interaction.

Famous quotes containing the word evolution:
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
