Malekoff informs, instructs, and implores us to understand how the practice of group work has been and yet can again be a major tool in working with adolescents. The Carnegie Commission that authored the publication A Matter of Time: Risk and Opportunity in the Nonschool Hours, alerted us to the dire need to teach and serve teenagers and to the disappearance of group work on a national level. Malekoff does the study justice by pointing the way to the reemergence of group work with opportunities for providers and educators to learn and train a new generation of group work practitioners. - Philip Coltoff, M.S.W., Executive Director, Children's Aid Society
