Selected proceedings of the 22nd Annual International Symposium of the Association for the Advancement of Social Work with Groups, held in Toronto, Canada, Oct. 2000.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The examples you'll find in Social Work with Groups: Social Justice Through Personal, Community, and Societal Change will help you to assist groups to gain a sense of empowerment and create change in their own lives and communities. You'll meet social workers who use hip-hop music to reach out to troubled adolescents, practitioners who blend traditional First Nations talking circles with other therapy methods, a retired professor who transforms the way her fellow senior living centre residents participate in their world, and fathers of children with spina-bifida who help each other through an online discussion group.
