A valuable guide to working with groups for a variety of purposes
in the human services. Its distinctive strength is the focus on
'thinking group' and on theory informed reflective practice.
Grounded throughout in the rich experiences of 'group insiders',
the book is both engaging and informative. Definitely a recommended
resource for practitioners, students and educators. Ros Thorpe,
Professor of Social Work and Community Welfare, James Cook
University Group facilitation is a core skill for social workers,
community workers, youth workers, health workers and psychologists.
Inside Group Work offers a guide to group work theory and practice
in a variety of human service settings. Drawing on
thought-provoking contributions from experienced group leaders and
participants, Fiona McDermott outlines the various ways in which
group work can be used. Focusing particularly on psychoeducation
groups, psychotherapy groups, mutual aid groups and social action
groups, she explains that the purpose of the group should determine
the form it takes. The key facilitation skills of listening,
observing, intervening and responding under pressure are outlined.
But McDermott argues these skills by themselves are not sufficient.
Rather, facilitators need to 'think group' in order to be most
effective. McDermott also explains the various stages groups go
through, and looks at ways in which group facilitators can handle
typical problems. She explores issues of power and leadership, and
also the influence of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and age.
