| Summary |
In this extremely practical guide, Julie Phillips argues that preparation is the most important element in running successful groups and explores the issues that practitioners should address. She demonstrates how to prepare effectively, drawing on eight extended case studies with a variety of groups ranging from a positive parenting group to an anger management group. She examines the initial decisions that must be made such as determining the size, purpose, and goals of a group, and finding an appropriate meeting place. Anti-discriminatory practice, with an emphasis on power, race, and gender issues, is highlighted as a fundamental consideration in planning a group. Phillips underpins her recommendations for practice with the theories behind groupwork and includes frameworks for analyzing the effectiveness of group programs. Groupwork in Social Care will be essential reading for students and qualified professionals working in the fields of occupational therapy, youth work, social work, probation, and community mental health nursing |
