He will, let us say, have personal experience of being rejected or of feeling inadequate: these are part of the furniture of his experience, and he needs no specialist to describe these things to him. Yet he may never have thought of using this experience to improve his understanding of human relations or his skill in living, and indeed he might even be unaware that he has such experience. There remains his need to detect and recognize his knowledge and to learn how to use it. A distinction thus emerges between training in specialist skills, where there is a need to communicate with the help of a specialist both a knowledge of the subject and an ability to use it, and training in human relationships, where the trainer may assume the existence of the basic ingredients and dispense with the service of a specialist, but has the task of helping his trainees to unearth it, see its relevance, and apply it.
