Abstract	The evolution of the Outward Bound curriculum in the United States with emphasis on how it has changed to ensure greater transfer of course learning from the Outward Bound wilderness experience to experiences in daily life is examined. A typology of curriculum models is developed consisting of (1) a first generation "Mountains Speak for Themselves" model which focuses on experience alone and which has dominated Outward Bound programming from the 1960s to early 1970s; (2) a second generation "Outward Bound Plus" model, which emphasizes discussion, group process, and imported techniques in use currently; and (3) a third generation "Metaphoric" model, which stresses experiential metaphors and provides a direction for future curriculum evolution. An analysis of the three models contrasts their various strengths and weaknesses. Discussion, however, focuses on the four main parts of the "Metaphoric" model applied to alcoholics as an example. This analysis suggests that the three models do not form a discrete typology, but are different, progressively more sophisticated forms of the same process. Twenty-one bibliographic references are provided. (CS)
