Episode of Series “21st Century”.
A group of college students get together in a “circle of love”, ie an “encounter group” to improve interpersonal relationships. Comprises highlights from several sessions in which six students, who have never met before, react to taped instructions from a behavioural research institute. Participants learn to express their real feelings about themselves and their fellow students, and learn to overcome anxieties and shyness in the presence of others. Reporter: Walter Cronkite
