ABSTRACT
Social Work Practice with Groups: Intervention, Termination, and Evaluation emphasizes the development and implementation of interventions with various types of groups. Continuing the framing of skills and techniques within theoretical perspectives, the use of evidence-based interventions with groups is introduced using the strengths, narrative, and solution-focused frameworks. Models for group intervention are described, along with an in-depth examination of the roles, skills, and practice behaviors required for carrying out a group-level intervention. Termination, evaluation, and follow-up of group interventions are also covered. New to Chapter 9 is additional content on group dynamics and leadership. A Grand Challenge for Social Work that emphasizes how to “Harness Technology for Social Good” is discussed.
