Group work is a popular and widely used social work method.
Focusing particularly on the central role of mutual aid in
effective group work, this text presents the theoretical base,
outlines core principles, and introduces the skills for translating
those theories and principles into practice. A Mutual-Aid Model for
Social Work with Groups will help readers to catalyze the strengths
of group members such that they become better problem solvers in
all areas of life from the playroom to the boardroom. Increased
coverage of evaluation and evidence-based practice speaks to the
field's growing concern with monitoring process and assessing
progress. The book also includes: worker-based obstacles to mutual
aid, their impact, and their antidotes pre-group planning including
new discussion on curriculum groups group building by prioritizing
certain goals and norms in the new group the significance of time
and place on mutual aid and the role of the group worker
maintaining mutual aid during so-called individual problem solving
an expanded discussion of anti-oppression and anti-oppressive
practice unlocking a group's potential to make difference and
conflict useful special considerations in working with
time-limited, open-ended, and very large groups. Case examples are
used throughout to help bridge the gap between theory and practice,
and exercises for class or field, help learners to immediately
apply conceptual material to their practice. All resources required
to carry out the exercises are contained in over 20 appendices at
the end of the book. Key points at the end of each chapter recap
the major concepts presented, and a roster of recommended reading
for each chapter points the reader to further resources on each
topic. Designed to support ethical and successful practice, this
textbook is an essential addition to the library of any social work
student or human service practitioner working with groups.
