• Resumen

  • This paper is based on a pilot exercise (Cowan, 1983) in which ‘self‐help’ professional development groups were established in a place of employment. The project set out to establish groups which would take an appreciable initiative in providing constructive feedback between members, in deciding the directions in which they would go, and in working co‐operatively between formal meetings with staff. It was anticipated that such groups should also be able to sustain significant momentum without total dependence on the facilitation (Garry and Cowan, 1989) provided by someone external to the group.
