ABSTRACT

The experiential nature of group behaviour and learning requires the worker and members to engage in an interaction which, by its nature, touches on all aspects of the human experience. The quality and richness of this interaction is in part a product of the processes that the worker knowingly or unknowingly helps to initiate, and the relevance of the methods or ‘technology’ used to assist the group achieve its ends and resolve its problems. In the last few chapters I have talked about what I consider to be the essential pro-

cesses and skills to introduce and co-operate with in your group. I now want to discuss some of the methods that make up a basic repertoire and form the ‘tool kit’ that you use to work experientially in most group settings.
