Description
This book is based on the results of the search for the fundamental similarities in the practice of all groupworkers in whatever profession or setting they may operate. The theoretical concepts used by groupworkers may be widely variant, but what workers actually do when in interaction with the groups they create or adapt show remarkable similarities which are deeper and more influential than the concepts in promoting or preventing successful group outcomes. This book presents the foundations of a coherent theory of group work practice based on these similarities.

- Introduction
- interactive and affiliative patterns in groups
- associative patterns in created and adapted groups
- resources
- obstacles
- groupwork techniques
- resource theory
- group design 1
- group design 2
- implications.
