Use of Groups in Social Work Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First Published in 1975, Use of Groups in Social Work Practice seeks to encourage caseworkers to use groups as an integral part of their professional practice and assumes that no one book could entirely meet this need. The present book adopts an interactionist approach. It discusses crucial themes like group work in the British social work tradition; the North American experience; what is a group; group work and social work's strategic purposes; tactical goals for group work; the self as a social product; the ingredients of group activity; the authority of the group worker; and the future for group work. This is a must read for students of social work.
