Concurrent Interventions in Multiple Domains: The Essence of Social Work with Groups

Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper examines intervention in social work practice with groups, as it has been conceptualized in the practice theory literature. Some unique features of social work intervention in groups are identified, which have received scant attention in the literature. The paper documents what constitutes the mainstream practice of intervention employed by social workers in adequately functioning groups, highlighting a methodology characterized by spontaneity, creativity, and social inventiveness, in the activation and use of group.
