Groupwork Practice in Social Work: Second Edition (Transforming Social Work Practice)

Social work degree students must be confident in working with groups of service users as well as other professionals. This revised second edition introduces the practicalities of planning, establishing, facilitating, and evaluating social work projects, including small helping groups as well as inter-professional working parties. The book examines the best methods in setting up a group, the issues around power and anti-oppressive practice, and how to cope with unexpected or unhelpful outcomes. This book features new material on socio-drama and psycho-drama action methods, with examples from actual groupwork projects.
