    Socio-sexual intervention in a protective workshop : process analysis of action research
    (1993) Southey, Sharon-Lee; Lazarus, Ray ; Levett, Ann
    This dissertation explores an organisational consultation and a socio-sexual training intervention made at a protective workshop. Against an informative background and a literature review, the process is examined in the light of principles of organisational consultation, with special attention to the processes of entry, needs assessment, contracting, the actual intervention and evaluation. The intervention, which took the form of action research, is explored. Particular emphasis is focused on the tensions which manifested because of ·sexuality as subject matter, personal and interpersonal dynamics, as well as organisational factors relating to consultation. The discussion around the various influences results in recommendations. These recommendations should be useful to the agency involved, and to other mental health workers in the field of sexuality and mental handicap, and also to fellow students.
