From Transformation to Transformaction : Methods and Practices

In a first book - already published in four languages - David Gutmann expressed what transformation means for him. He did not describe a new theory, but a very specific and useful approach. How can human beings tranform their life. conditions, roles, as well as institutions, mileu? In a second book, David Gutmann and his colleagues explored these basic issues in relation to disillusionment - seen as a liberating process - and its corolloary, lack of desire. From Transformation to TransformaCtion may constitute the follow-up of these first texts. it evokes the practical consequences of this approach and relates several interventions and reflections made by David Gutmann and his colleagues travelling all over the world and discovering other experiences, other countries and other cultures. This book is not conceptual. It is a vade mecum, almost a manual of instruction for those who want to deal with transformation ( which is nothing other than our daily experience!). Thus, although it appears like a book about practice for practitioners, this collection of texts has not been written only for managers, or people of working in institutions. It is about life and liberation; liberty and libido. It is written to accompany everyone in the process of building and transforming his, or her, own life.
