Using a plentiful selection of skill-building and self-evaluation exercises, SOCIAL WORK WITH GROUPS reflects the philosophy that students learn group leadership skills best by practicing them in class. In the tenth edition, the authors discuss topics that are central to a successful understanding of group leadership: stages of groups, group dynamics, verbal and nonverbal communication, types of groups, and diversity in groups. They also focus on helping students acquire the competencies and practice behaviors of the 2015 EPAS. With support from this book, your classroom becomes a "lab" where students can experience what it's like to work in and lead many kinds of groups. Updated with timely topics and firsthand accounts from social group work professionals, this edition also emphasizes the importance of social workers' self-care. It's available with the MindTap digital solution.
