Abstract
This article describes the establishment of sensitivity groups (T-groups) within a psychiatric admission centre handling a full spectrum of psychiatric problems. The rationale for T-groups is reviewed. Some of the factors leading up to the demand for the T-groups by the staff themselves are described. The composition of the group, and its reactions to sensitivity training are discussed. Some current and some anticipated difficulties in this type of in-service training are considered.
