Working with groups

Abstract

This valuable addition to the group work literature focuses on the integration of theory and
practice of group work in the South African context. The communication network that is set up
in groups, be it be conflict resolution groups, therapeutic groups or support groups, becomes a
vital channel through which the work of the group is done. The important facet of group work
practice, namely the interface between individuals, families, communities and the broader
society, also receives attention in this book. The learning objectives formulated for every
chapter give an indication of what can be expected in a particular chapter, and this can be
regarded as an excellent way of adding to the scientific value of the book
