Abstract
This article is presented on the assumption that knowledge about laboratory training may be advanced by the careful study of critical incidents and that such study may lead to the isolation of variables of significance for research. The following is a verbatim account of a personal growth crisis which occurred near the midpoint of a two-week laboratory. Four factors are explored as having been of major influence in the growth crisis: (a) the group leader's persistence in turning attention toward emotional distress; (b) the leader's persistent quest for meanings in chaotic emotions; (c) the group's attentiveness as a healing force; and (d) the emotional interfiow among group members as a facilitator for self-exploration.
