Summary:

Group Work with Populations at Risk is a fundamental resource for practitioners in health and mental health settings and a comprehensive guidebook of group work skills. Geared toward students and professionals gaining an introductory understanding of groups, this volume describes how to work with vulnerable populations. The vulnerable populations that are addressed include returning war veterans, immigrants, the aging and their caregivers, children and adults who have been abused, and people struggling with substance abuse issues, cancer, and chronic mental illness. Additionally, each chapter [designed to stand alone for easy reference) describes the population and reviews the relevant literature, identifies themes and practice principles, presents case illustrations, provides evaluation guidance, and refers readers to key references and web resources. New to this Edition: Chapters that provide overarching skills and techniques that apply across group work settings and populations. These skills, along with case examples, provide a template for practice with groups. Chapters for survivors of sex trafficking, children in need of social skills training, victims of sexual and domestic violence, parents who are homeless, fathers who are incarcerated, and caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease. Emphasis on topics that are of relevance to MSW students and beginning practitioners. Book jacket.
