Book excerpt: Kaplan (founder and leader of the Community Development Resource Association in Cape Town, South Africa) explores the practice of organization development and group change. Drawing on his consulting experience as well as on the work of Goethe and Jung, he challenges the tendency to reduce development to a technical operation that attempts to control. The 23 chapters address the complexity of the process of social transformation, describing social change and providing exercises through which practitioners can enhance their abilities to respond to a mixture of chaos and order. They also show how development groups can intervene in social situations in a humane and effective manner. Distributed by Stylus. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
