Popis: Problems related to the introduction and training of nonprofessionals in various structures (neighborhood service centers, service agencies, etc.) are presented. New approaches to phased, on-the-job training and the coordination of training and supervision are proposed. Problems related to the role ambiguity of the nonprofessional are discussed. Ten recommendations are offered relating to the group interview in the selecting of aides, the formation of nonprofessional groups and unions, the development of career lines, the new participation ideology of indigenous nonprofessionals (distinguishing them from traditional nonprofessionals, e.g., psychiatric aides), the limitations of traditional T groups (sensitivity groups), etc.
