Summary: Hegelian Dialectic Process
Review: This book is an extension of the dialectic conscious process applied to staff 'developement'. A diverse group of people dialoging to conscious, over a social issue in a facilitated meeting to a predetermined outcome. This Socialist process is dominating current educational practices. Use extreem caution.
