ABOUT ISABS

Founded in 1972, Indian Society for Applied Behavioural Science (ISABS) is a national, voluntary professional body of behavioural scientists engaged in applying their knowledge and skill to the well being of persons, organisations & communities. Its members work as independent consultants, trainers, counsellors, academicians, human resource development managers and community change agents.

ISABS programmes focus on helping people to understand human processes better, and discover more creative and satisfying ways of relating and working.

ISABS utilizes group and experience-based learning as its main learning methodology. Experiencing, reflecting, hypothesizing, conceptualising and experimenting, rather than lectures are the chief ingredients in this process of learning. ISABS also develops professionals capable of facilitating such experience-based learning in organisational and societal contexts.

Human Process Laboratories

In a human process laboratory, a group of around 10-12 participants work together along with facilitator[s] to learn about human processes and discover more about themselves, their strengths & styles; interpersonal and group interactions; how they perceive others and are perceived by others. While this is the primary task, there is no pre-determined agenda and the group uses the ’here and now’ experience to derive this learning, using one another as resources. The facilitator helps to create a climate for such learning.

The language of conversation in a lab depends on the comfort and comprehension of the group members and it is likely that more than one language may be utilized during the lab.
