摘要:The aim of the text is to look behind the scenes of one particular institution,intending to examine whether the existing theory of field programmes corresponds to what in reality is going on. Having revealed some discrepancies between theory and reality,the author explores the characteristics of such contradictions through his own qualitative research. By means of an analysis of narrative dialogues with selected field programme leaders,several categories of problems were devised. Apparently,the situation of some programmes is constraining heavily the work of their performers.
