Group Work: A Humanistic Approach (SAGE Sourcebooks for the Human Services)

By Urania E. Glassman and Len Kates

In Group Work the authors address what makes humanistic groups unique. Centered 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--within various settings--to achieve these objectives. "A well-written book, which demonstrates the versatility of group work and which, while presenting one particular approach to such work, will not be without interest to practitioners employing alternative approaches." --Group Analysis "The authors provide a thorough practical analysis of intervention issues within a well-articulated humanistic approach. A fine testimony to social group work." --The Le Travailleur Social Worker
