ABSTRACT In 1973 Carl R. Rogers, Natalie Rogers Fuchs and John K Wood and a staff that included the current author collectively conceived of a series of events that would explore three core questions–whether or not Client-Centered principles shown to be effective for facilitating positive change in individuals demonstrate similar growth promoting effects on collectivities such as families, groups and communities; whether groups as entities and not just the individuals within them can become conscious; and whether a community’s capacity for social transformation could be enhanced if participants approached each other in accordance with client-centered principles. These workshops came to be known as Person-Centered Approach (PCA) encounters. Using evidence in the form of first-person accounts, field notes and published descriptions of over 40 PCA workshops in multiple settings across the world evidence seems to suggest that the answer to all three question is ‘yes.’ Insights into key conditions, facilitative approaches and philosophical frameworks for understanding PCA workshop process are discussed.

激进的意图：二十一世纪对以人为本方法大型小组研讨会中的促进的反思

摘要 1973 年，Carl R. Rogers、Natalie Rogers Fuchs 和 John K Wood 以及包括现任作者在内的工作人员共同构思了一系列活动，这些活动将探讨三个核心问题——以客户为中心的原则是否被证明对促进个人的积极变化显示出对家庭、团体和社区等集体的类似增长促进作用；群体作为实体而不仅仅是其中的个体是否可以变得有意识；如果参与者按照以客户为中心的原则相互接触，是否可以增强社区的社会转型能力。这些研讨会后来被称为以人为本的方法 (PCA) 遭遇。使用第一人称账户形式的证据，世界各地 40 多个 PCA 研讨会的现场笔记和已发表的描述似乎表明，所有三个问题的答案都是“是”。讨论了对理解 PCA 研讨会过程的关键条件、促进方法和哲学框架的见解。
