practitioner allows himself toexperience surprise, puzzlement,or confusion in a situation which hefinds uncertain or unique. Hereflects on the phenomenon beforehim, and on the priorunderstandings which have beenimplicit in his behaviour. He carriesout an experiment which serves togenerate both a new understandingof the phenomenon and a changein the situation.
