THE BENEFITS OF MULTI-HANDS STUDY GROUPS Protocol and Rotation For each individual session, one person is chosen to be the primary. For that session, the primary's word is law. Within the confines of the group's priorities, the session can be run however the group determines. The primary can allow the other practitioners, or secondaries, to use their full scope of practice and place their hands appropriately, or she can direct whose hands go where and what their focus should be. The only person the primary needs to accommodate is, of course, the client. While this may sound dictatorial (OK, it is dictatorial), it facilitates a more integral process for the client. The Benefits • Receive multilevel work at the same time. • Practice and receive feedback from the client and other practitioners during the session. • Learn techniques or a new understanding of familiar techniques. • Gain increased exposure to diverse life and clinical experiences. • Use these sessions to meet continuing education requirements. Establishing working relationships with other practitioners you respect and trust results in a common language and understanding of each other's approaches, making it easy and beneficial to discuss complex cases.
