利蘭·布雷德福（Leland P. Bradford,1905年7月12日——1981年5月1日)美國(guó)行為科學(xué)家，心理學(xué)家。感受性訓(xùn)練模式創(chuàng)始人，其主要貢獻(xiàn)是提出群體行為：“感受性訓(xùn)練”- 實(shí)驗(yàn)室訓(xùn)練

敏感性訓(xùn)練也稱T-團(tuán)體訓(xùn)練（訓(xùn)練小組訓(xùn)練）或?qū)嶒?yàn)室訓(xùn)練，是美國(guó)行為科學(xué)家布雷德福（Leland Bradford）等人首創(chuàng)的一種訓(xùn)練方法。目的是通過(guò)受訓(xùn)者在共同學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境中的相互影響，提高受訓(xùn)者對(duì)自己的感情和情緒、自己在組織中所扮演的角色、自己同別人的相互影響關(guān)系的敏感性，進(jìn)而改變個(gè)人和團(tuán)體的行為，達(dá)到提高工作效率和滿足個(gè)人需求的目標(biāo)。

敏感性訓(xùn)練的做法

敏感性訓(xùn)練的做法是把不同單位、不同級(jí)別、互不相識(shí)的管理人員、職工組成不超過(guò)15人為度的小組，進(jìn)行1至2周的訓(xùn)練。在尋倆系中，參加的人員自由的討論自己感興趣的問(wèn)題，自由地發(fā)表意見(jiàn)，分析自己地行為和感情，并接受對(duì)自己行為的反饋意見(jiàn)（批評(píng)或其他意見(jiàn)），從而提高對(duì)各種問(wèn)題的敏感性。

敏感性訓(xùn)練的特點(diǎn)

敏感性訓(xùn)練的特點(diǎn)是：

1、無(wú)嚴(yán)密組織，無(wú)主席，無(wú)議題，無(wú)議程；

2、非定型的自由交談，對(duì)有關(guān)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的即所謂"此時(shí)此地"所發(fā)生的事情進(jìn)行對(duì)話活動(dòng)；

3、培訓(xùn)指導(dǎo)人員僅從旁協(xié)作，為學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程提供方便，其使命是觀察、記錄、解釋，有時(shí)誘導(dǎo)，扮演一種不引人注目的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)角色 。

訓(xùn)練一開(kāi)始往往呈現(xiàn)一種使受訓(xùn)人員不知所措的局面。這時(shí)，有的人可能不耐煩，有的充滿疑慮，有的思索，有的提議指定一個(gè)主席，有的提出各種問(wèn)題。漸漸的展開(kāi)了討論，醞釀問(wèn)題，交換意見(jiàn)，由此逐漸促成彼此間的認(rèn)識(shí)和了解。
