Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

Disorganization and terror may be unavoidable in groups that are developing the professional’s capacity to bear the troubles of human life, in every field of practice. As a response to such experiences, the author engages with two recurrent, researchable questions: When facilitating professional growth, what is the framework for recovering thoughtfulness amid such distress? And what are the evolving challenges of the group’s designated leader?
