- Synopsis
- Garvin (social work, University of Michigan) presents work by contributors in social work and public health describing current approaches to working with groups in a range of settings and for a variety of purposes. Authors outline influential theories of group work, reviewing findings from across the social and behavioral sciences, and address contemporary issues in planning and implementing interventions in areas including mental health, child welfare, substance abuse, aging, and corrections. They also look at community groups, groups in agencies, and policymaking groups. For each approach described, authors review relevant literature, provide practical information, assess the approach from the standpoint of empowerment, and consider issues specific to working with diverse populations. Several chapters are devoted to research issues. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
