Abstract
The Use of Self (UoS) idea has been with the field of OD since its early founding but has only small glimpses of conceptual grounding. Most of the learning and sharing was derived through practice and experience.
Little clarifying work has been published and almost no research has been done. Many have learned about it and grown their Use of Self practice through mentoring and passed-down wisdom from the founders and senior
practitioners.
