ABSTRACT
Participation in a T-Group is likely to result in personal change, be it at the level of learning or insight, change in behaviour, shift in attitudes, realignment of personal values or even a reconfiguration of self-image as a person. These changes could be restricted to the period of the T-Group or for a brief period after the T-Group experience or even lifelong. Some of these changes can be attributed to specific feedback received from other participants or the facilitator or a combination of the experience in the T-group along with the larger life stage processes that the person is undergoing.
This chapter explores the theories of change, the processes in the T-Group that contribute to change and the steps that one can discern from the same. 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.
