ABSTRACT
Ten years ago we presented a plenary paper at the Atlanta symposium of the Association for the Advancement of Social Work with Groups titled Making Joyful Noise: Presenting, Promoting, and Portraying Group Work to and for the Profession. We started that presentation with a famous line from Shakespeare’s King Henry the Fifth, “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; or close the wall up with our English dead!” (1918, p. 40). The intent of Henry’s speech was to rouse his vastly outnumbered forces in the forthcoming battle with the French. The purpose of Henry’s speech was achieved: the English were successful. They survived. They won.
