ABSTRACT
This book is about groupwork. It explores the similarities and differences between groups. Through that exploration the book seeks to develop an understanding of the nature of the ‘groupwork’ which unites these diverse experiences. As we shall see, the book makes regular and consistent reference to nine actual groups in order to learn more about the practice of groupwork. Through the lens of the groupworkers, we will learn more about the strengths and limitations of groups and about the many factors which contribute to a successful group.
