This timely new book presents the concepts, context, and
applications of a problem-solving approach to group work with
children and adolescents. This comprehensive new volume covers it
all. It addresses issues associated with assessment, problem
recognition, planning and composition, leadership, and activities
in a wide range of settings when working with children and
adolescents. Phases of group work, practice guidelines, and
evaluation are also thoroughly considered. Significant applications
focus on group work with children and adolescents from families in
which divorce has occurred; group work to improve peer
relationships and social competence; group work with children and
adolescents who are at risk for developing mental health and
substance abuse disorders; and school performance group work. To
help illustrate key points, a lively case example is provided for
each application. A practical volume for practitioners in the
helping professions, Group Work with Children and Adolescents will
be highly valuable to those practicing in the fields of social
work, human services, clinical and counseling psychology, and
psychiatric nursing.
This work should serve as a sound foundation for students and
practitioners as they begin their study of the significance of
various groups in social work practice. --Choice Collective problem
solving: a powerful and effective means of assessing a situation,
determining a course of action, and accomplishing goals. In the
realm of social services, this formidable method has been evidenced
in the development of task groups; in the textbook arena, it is
clearly and definitively presented in Task Groups in the Social
Services. Focusing on the role of the social worker, the authors
consider such aspects as the recruitment and composition of groups,
participation as a team member, group shepherding, and dealing with
problem behaviors within the group. Selected problem-solving
approaches, including brainstorming, societal judgment analysis,
and the Delphi technique, are evaluated in terms of process and
outcome. From implementation through achievement, the merits and
methods of application for a variety of task groups are assessed.
This sophisticated work will be a vital resource for students of
social work and social work practitioners alike.
