Abstract title: The role of the external practitioner
Author: Javier Schunk
Issue:

Volume 13, Number 4 - August 2003


The author uses the metaphor of the development practitioner as psychotherapist in order to explore the perverse relationships of dependence and projection that may be fostered between aid agencies and ‘beneficiaries’ unless there is a clear sense on the part of both parties that the ultimate goal is that the latter should take responsibility for analysing their situation and taking appropriate steps to improve it.
