História biográfica
The Group Relations Training Association (GTRA) was a financially independent, non profit making association which was founded in 1967 by members of the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations and the Management Studies Department of Leeds University. It was a national network promoting and supporting personal and organisational growth through group learning methods, it encouraged the skilled use of group training methods in Europe and the development of further innovations in group training methods. Its main activities were the Annual Conference and the Annual Group Laboratory: a five day event where a number of training groups or 'T-groups' worked on the study of their own internal processes and interpersonal styles, with a view to personal development. The GTRA ended [Sep 1995].
