Lavorare con la ricerca-azione tessendo il filo con il passato

This article analyses a case study of an action research project conducted by the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, London, for the NHS. Aim of the paper is to analyse the action research through two main aspects: first of all the link with the past and the tradition of the Tavistcok Institute, and secondly through the specific characteristics played in an action research project, that make it different from other types of organizational interventions.
