ABSTRACT

Most T-group participants experience change: they change their behaviour, attitudes, values, and self-image. Changes can come about because of feedback from others or because the person is in the midst of larger life stage changes or both. Such changes may fade after the experience, or may persist life-long.

This chapter explores the theories of change, the processes in the T-Group that contribute to change and the steps of that change. It also explores resistance to change and how that gets played out in a T-Group. This chapter is divided into five sections. The first two look at how change happens, the third and fourth at how change gets blocked. The last section is about tracking change in groups.
