Social work with individuals and groups represents a broad domain of direct social work practice. Social workers work with a variety of groups in all settings in which social work is practiced. While some have proposed that social work practice with groups reflects any and all groups within which social workers participate other definitional parameters have been established. The study of social group is conducted by sociologists who analyse behavior and interactions among people and show how these interactions shape societies. As members share and assist one another with problems they learn how to communicate about difficult issues while being supportive for those going through the same challenges. Issues surrounding alcoholism depression sexual dysfunction bereavement and schizophrenia are all contexts in which the social group process can be applied. This book is social individuals and groups work over time and its relationship to the burgeoning social work profession.
