grouP Work PrActIce kIt: How to Improve the Everyday Practice of Group
Work
Robert K. Conyne, Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati
This comprehensive collection of brief practice books provides practitioners, instructors, students, and trainees with concrete
direction for spreading and improving group work practice by counselors, psychologists, social workers, student personnel, and
other human service personnel. Each book addresses critical practical areas within group work and offers appropriate attention to
diversity and multicultural issues as well as accreditation and/or specialty standards. The Kit's span encompasses major aspects
of planning, performing, and processing group work; that is, across the span of group work practice from conceiving an idea for a
group (Planning), to delivering it (Performing) and then evaluating its conduct and effectiveness (Processing).
