English term or phrase: EST
In some ways, the three-day workshop, “Creating Class Leaders,” recalled an EST training session. As with that cultural touchstone of the 1970s, there was “sharing” and applause. There were confrontations and hugs. Gnomic declarations hovered in the air like mist: “We need to distinguish distinction”; “There’s no seeing, there’s only the seer”; “There isn’t any is.”


I found Engagement Skills Trainer in Acronym finder.. What would the German translation be?

Bitte lösche doch die Frage ganz oder bitte den Moderator darum!

Eine falsche Antwort im Glossar bringt ja nichts, und Erhard wird in diesem Kontext überhaupt nicht erwähnt!

Ich schätze es geht darum:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erhard_Seminars_Training

Das war in den 70ern groß in den USA. Ein deutscher Leser wird damit allerdings wenig anfangen können, daher würde ich mir überlegen, was es aussagen soll und wie man das im Deutschen formulieren könnte.

z. B. also eine Formulierung wie:

„... erinnert fast an die überkandidelten/exzentrischen/überzogenen/esoterisch angehauchten Selbsthilfekurse der 70er Jahre“

agree  Thomas Pfann: Aha. In dem Fall darf man natürlich in der Übersetzung das EST nicht unterschlagen (was ich in meinem Beitrag eigentlich vorgeschlagen hatte), da es ja genau darum geht.
