Abstract
The successful pursuit of our business requires skillful interventions-in professional habits of mind and action. In truth, in peoples' lives. Probably more thought has gone into this issue than into any other aspect of professional development work. Interventions are the stuff of ethics, even when-as is usual in the case with the articles in this section-the focus is almost exclusively on techniques. The sensitivity to contexts, to rationale for choice, to outcomes, to people displayed by each author affirms the ethical dimension of specific interventions. Considered thus, the choice of techniques is important indeed.
