...call Esalen President Michael Murphy "no far out cultist"; yet his "sensitivity training," aimed at getting people to "let go of an excessively verbal image of themselves" [Sept. 29], appears to be merely a rationalization of the hippie syndrome tidied up a little to make it acceptable to middle-class escapists. This technique relegates the mind to second place and glorifies "feelings," the most primitive standard for reacting to others.

After having his students stand barefoot on a sheet and feel the grass under it, he pairs them off, asks them to "converse" by slapping each other's arms and shoulders. In "the Gunther sandwich," one student lies face-down on a sheet; two others kneel beside him, pound his legs, buttocks and back with their hands. Then the three stretch out and cling to each other.
