How can groups effectively meet the needs of humans in areas as diverse as aid, responsibility, action, healing, learning and acceptance? Based on a selection of papers from the 24th Annual International Symposium of the Association for the Advancement of Social Work with Groups (AASWG), this edited volume aims to address these issues and provide ways to extend the current reach and quality of social work with groups.

"A coherent and comprehensive collection of articles that inform us about practice with a diversity of groups and ignite excitement about their breadth and potential. As you journey from one article to another, it is impossible to lay the book down. I thank the editors for their labor of love in putting together this uniquely informative collection and strongly recommend it to you." Alex Gitterman, Zachs Professor of Social Work, University of Connecticut, USA
