Offers specific and practical techniques and direction for workers in nearly every social work setting. While the group settings are as varied as the needs and difficulties of the people in the group, certain fundamental approaches and principles remain constant. Brandler and Roman offer many theoretical frameworks and intense examinations of the application of theory to real practice with actual examples from group settings. This book examines developmental stages in individual treatment. In each phase of treatment, issues are discussed as they relate to members and to workers, emphasizing the means by which workers can successfully intervene with particular populations in order to accomplish the goals of the group. Potential questions of social workers are addressed, such as how to analyze thoughts and feelings about the group, how to help the group understand itself and its members, and even how to best arrange the furniture. Chapters also deal with special areas including the therapeutic use of program, an activity resource section, group planning, co-therapy, and problems arising from the unusual structures and difficult populations. An activity guide serves as a glossary to this book.
