This diverse collection of articles by group work professionals who
work in the classroom and in the field captures not only the art
and science of social work with groups but also its soul,
highlighting practice, teaching, and writing ideas that promote the
power of group work - and the people who do it. Making Joyful Noise
reinforces the value and uniqueness of group work as a positive,
optimistic, empowering, and affirming way of working with people.
The articles presented here cover a wide range of age groups,
populations, and settings and include examples on the use of
activity and discussion in groups: a poetry club for children, the
meaning of camp for preadolescents, a boxing group for adolescents
who live in the inner city, self-defense classes for adults, and
caregiver support for the elderly. The book also steps into the
classroom to promote the teaching of social group work and the
education of advanced group work practitioners and to encourage
practitioners to write about their group work practice. Finally,
the book presents and illustrates a number of concepts that are
unique to group work and that encourage front-line practitioners to
"be bold" and to "stay in the mess." While organized as a tribute
to the late Dr. Roselle Kurland, Making Joyful Noise is in and of
itself an important collection of articles and essays on social
group work and one that is certain to provide all practitioners who
are interested in group work with a spark, a smile, and some needed
inspiration for their important work. Making Joyful Noise includes:
essentials for preserving, promoting, and portraying group work
practice the critical relationship between human and professional
ethics in group work six common mistakes that practitioners make in
regard to group purpose using organizational analysis to improve
group work practice creatively blending activity and discussion in
diverse settings cultivating collegiality to reduce isolation and
enhance practice developing a capacity to "stay in the mess" in
group work with people of all ages skills for effectively working
with transitions, separation, and loss in group guidelines for
