INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS TRAINING IN THE 1980s

Abstract

Some of the major shifts in interpersonal relationships training in the 1980s are outlined. Covering face‐to‐face communication skills, influencing and assertion, team building and personal awareness programmes, it is argued that a more holistic rather than a reductionist approach is desirable. Change, it is argued, usually involves awareness and small steps, not uprooting what is and replacing it with something different.
