| Abstract: | Shadow consultation is widely practiced in the field of organization development. However, the empirical, conceptual, and practice literature is scanty at best. This article provides a conceptual framework from which shadow consultation can be conducted and describes and discusses some typical goals, areas of expertise, the process of shadow sessions, methods that can be used, and some of the similarities and differences between shadow consultation and management and supervision. Two case studies are presented as a way of describing and illustrating the shadowing process. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
