The dissertation presents a participatory research process in organisational change with social
work supervision. The study was conducted with a group of social work supervisors employed by
the Department of Health and Welfare in the Central region of the Northern Province from
September 1997 to November 1998. The participatory research process engaged the participants
in a consciousness-raising and educational process. They were enabled to identify problems
which rendered them ineffective, brought about by the socio-political transformation process in
South Africa since 1994, and were strengthened as a collaborative group to work together to
bring about change in their situation. Going through the process of dialogue as a group, the
participants became empowered and more confident to do participatory supervision, which in tum
would empower the supervisees as direct service providers. / Health Studies / M.A. (Social Science (Mental Health))
