Synopsis

In Group Work the authors examine what makes humanistic groups unique. Centred on the practitioner's use of self and based on dual objectives - the development of the democratic mutual aid system and the actualization of purpose - humanistic groups encourage growth, development and independence. The book outlines specific techniques that enable practitioners in various settings to achieve these objectives.
