What is Group Work?

This is a practical guide to improving the everyday practice of group work. What Is Group Work? presents an inclusive overview of group work in an easy-to-read format. Authors Robert K. Conyne and Leann T. Diederich define types of groups; connect with accreditation and/or specialty standards; demonstrate how best practices in group work and attention to diversity and multicultural issues can be used to guide practice; illustrate how key group processes (for example, group cohesion) can be used to mobilize effort; and set the stage for translating available group work evidence into group leader practice.
