ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses what is the importance of the group work method? It also addresses how has the group work method developed in the history of social work? The chapter explores what is seen as alienation and what is seen as the group work method? It also explores which social network techniques exist? The chapter examines how does the group work method contribute to meeting present needs on a safety, affective, and self-determination level? It also examines what evidence is there for the group work method? General social work deals with grief and divorce groups with the emphasis on processing emotions and some prospects. Social workers in schools use parent and child groups as a way of parental counselling as well as to give support on emotional recovery after disability. Deconstruction of traditional social work departments can isolate social workers from their primary source of professional affiliation, leaving them without the support to take stands on controversial patient care issues.
