1975 SUMMER INSTITUTE

The La Jolla Program of the Center for Studies of the Person announces its ninth summer of institutes for individuals
interested in the application of group process to their own settings. Four institutes will be held in summer, 1975, on
the campus of the University of California at San Diego: June 21 to July 7; July 12 to July 28; August 2 to August
18; August 23 to September 8.

The major emphasis of the program will be on directly experiencing the kind of group that is suggested by Dr.
Rogers when he writes:

“It usually consists of ten to fifteen persons and a facilitator or leader. It is relatively unstructured, providing a climate
of maximum freedom for personal expression, exploration of feelings, and interpersonal communication. Emphasis is
upon the interactions among the group members, in an atmosphere which encourages each to drop his defenses and
facades and thus enables the person to recognize and change self-defeating attitudes, test out and adopt more

innovative and constructive behaviors, and subsequently to relate more adequately and effectively to others in his
everyday life...” ;

Characteristic of the La Jolla Program, emphasis during the institute will be on direct experience in small groups (with
Staff facilitators) and an opportunity for institute participants themselves to facilitate weekend groups. In addition, there
is growing emphasis on the importance of frequent, minimally-structured meetings of the entire institute community.
Permeating the program—in the style of leadership exemplified by the majority of the staff and also offered in the
community meetings—is a person-centered philosophy of group leadership, a view which emphasizes that there is
maximum growth for both group and facilitator when the facilitator participates as a whole person rather than as a
technical expert. The program is essentially for persons interested in experience with this philosophy of leadership.

Faculty of the program will include the co-directors and other facilitators—and, for an afternoon, Dr. Rogers.
Participants can be expected to be from a variety of vocational backgrounds, including education, religion, counseling,
and health.

Tuition is $300.00. Room cost is $9.00 per night per person for a double and $11.00 per night per person for a
single room. (The room rate includes 2 meals and is subject to change.)

Application should be made by letter, should include a $25.00 application fee (non-refundable if accepted, and in
addition to the $300.00 tuition), and should contain the following information: name, address, telephone, sex, age,
marital status, amount of previous group experience, and a brief statement of the applicant's vocational sesnines and
reason for wanting to attend. Early application is suggested.

Participants wishing academic credit can receive their choice of three, six, or nine quarter units in connection with the
summer institute, through the University of California Extension. The fee, payable to the Regents of the University of
California, is $25.00 for each three units of credit.
