ABSTRACT In this editorial, we introduce our inspiration for this special issue in facilitating encounter. We explore some of the tensions inherent in the person-centered literature, such as working with or prioritizing individuals or the group. We emphasize the necessity for the authenticity and spontaneity of facilitators and their role as participants as well as facilitators. In the current context of encounter groups, which is different from when they originated, we introduce what the authors in this issue suggest is important about facilitating such endeavors. Moreover, we argue for the necessity of a broader discussion of facilitating encounter seeing encounter as one of the core concepts of PCA.

聚光灯下的PCA核心概念：促进相遇

摘要 在这篇社论中，我们介绍了我们为促进相遇而创作的这一特刊的灵感。我们探讨了以人为中心的文献中固有的一些紧张关系，例如与个人或团体合作或优先考虑。我们强调促进者的真实性和自发性以及他们作为参与者和促进者的角色的必要性。在遭遇群体的当前背景下，与它们起源时不同，我们介绍了本期作者提出的对于促进此类努力很重要的内容。此外，我们认为有必要对促进相遇进行更广泛的讨论，将相遇视为 PCA 的核心概念之一。
