Groupwork Practice in Social Work by Trevor Lindsay
Both the new social work degree and Post-Qualifying Award in social work require that students are competent at working with groups and such skills are also valuable in interprofessional practice, partnership working and within the social care workforce. This accessible book introduces the practicalities of planning, establishing, facilitating and evaluating social work projects and contains common-sense guidance on setting up, facilitating and closing small helping, interprofessional and other groups. The reader is introduced to the relevant skills, stages and decisions in groupwork and guided through what to do when things seem to be going wrong.
"I like the Learning Matters style-readable, user friendly and also the use of activities which assist with the application of learning"-(Programme Leader, University of Derby)
