While a body of professional literature attests to the central role of mutual aid in social work practice with groups, what has been lacking is a single source that links the description of mutual aid with practice prescriptions. This book does just that. This updated edition of the pathbreaking original contains four entirely new chapters that address single-session groups, short-term groups, open-ended groups, and very large groups. In addition, this book will help you to better understand and make use of mutual-aid perspectives on pregroup planning, early group goals and norms, the significance of time and place, and the role of the group worker, individual problem solving, and authority, conflict, and evaluation.
This book investigates the practical application of mutual-aid dynamics within group settings to enhance the efficacy of social work interventions. Dominique Moyse Steinberg, a recognized expert in group work practice, synthesizes professional literature with actionable clinical strategies. The text provides a structured framework for practitioners to facilitate peer-to-peer support, moving beyond theoretical descriptions to offer specific prescriptions for group management and problem-solving.
What You Will Find
Experts identify this work as a foundational text for social work students and practitioners seeking to integrate mutual-aid principles into their clinical practice. Readers frequently note the clarity of the practice-oriented chapters and the utility of the updated material for diverse group settings.
