The term gruppovincenti training in this text will be denoted the entire set of techniques of group work, based on the use of the emerging intra-group relationships to achieve desired effects (therapeutic, educational and developmental). The training of this kind include T-groups, sensitivity training, group meetings, group Gestalt therapy and a number of others like them. The peculiarity of these forms of work is the refusal of the organization of intra-group activity based on a detailed structured programme. The focus group work on what is happening "here and now" and primarily on the feelings of the participants to each other. The main spring that deploys the work of consciousness is the process of formation and development of intra-group relations, first of all, authority (leadership), and affection (sympathy).
Group exercises if they are aimed not so much to design, how to identify or, perhaps, acceleration and even forcing the sharing of feelings. This evolving and mutating system of mutual feelings and relationships and becomes groupdynamics trainings in the subject of group analysis.
There is one more difference: if in groupdynamics the focus training activity of the group is on how to analyze what is happening and it is here that lays the background for the transformation of consciousness, in this type of training, the reorganization of consciousness is accomplished by reaction — emotional-sensory (perceptual) in psychodrama and rational and effective role in the training. A new comprehension of reality as a result of training of this type is not based on the "liberation" of consciousness, i.e. the consciousness of deliverance from some of its aggravating components (all sorts of "defense mechanisms", "barriers" and "curbs"), and the acquisition of new visions of reality, visions with Mystery, which is a recreation and special way weathered events.
