Continual Change Groupwork: Being an Effective Group Leader - Social Sciences
,gravity=Center,allowExpansion)
Groups structure our social world, whether they are families, teams, communities, workplaces or on social media. Due to their underlying structures, groups are continually changing and evolving. To help group leaders keep pace, Continual Change Groupwork provides the knowledge and skills those working in the community services, health and counselling fields require to deepen their facilitation expertise and maximise the potential for change in group members' lives.
In a comprehensive overview, Continual Change Groupwork presents the Continual Change Framework as a useful and valuable tool for group leadership practice. The framework provides a solid foundation for effective facilitation, beginning with groupwork's basic building blocks and progressing to creative group leadership tools that develop a strong leadership presence. It also provides a mental map to assess and diagnose the challenges experienced along the way.
This book includes a comprehensive understanding and implementation of systems theory that is especially important when working or dealing with group dynamics. Chapters address continual learning in groups and working with immediacy; co-leadership in groupwork; ethical considerations and supervision; and groupwork and technology - all with a focus on cultural considerations. This book provides a fresh and enlivening appreciation of the importance and mastery of groupwork.
