Description
Case-Based Learning for Group Intervention in Social Work provides essential information on planning and facilitating groups in a clear and easy-to-understand format. Current practice challenges, such as working with people that are mandated to group services and the proliferation of open-ended groups, are taken on directly with an array of strategies. To develop student competency, this volume uses a contemporary pedagogy--case-based learning--as a teaching tool for analysis, application, and decision-making. By working through cases, students gain exposure to the considerable range of populations that can be served by social work group intervention. The text is accompanied by Teaching Notes (available at www.oup.com/us/case-based) to help instructors dive deeply into student responses, whether cases are discussed in the classroom as a whole, in small group activities, or as individual assignments.
Reviews / Votes
Case-Based Learning for Group Intervention in Social Work provides a comprehensive introduction to social work practice with groups. Better than other textbooks, it includes abundant case material throughout to help students anticipate and wrestle with the challenges of practice with groups. This approach helps students 'dip a toe in the water,' i.e., to gain vicarious experience with groups as they look in on social worker interactions with clients in diverse group settings." * Terry A. Wolfer, PhD, MSW, Professor, College of Social Work, University of South Carolina *More details
