Covering group work practice with task and treatment groups at the micro-, meso-, and macrolevels, Toseland (University at Albany, State University of New York) and Rivas (Siena College) continue to focus mainly on treatment groups in this fifth edition of a text for students in undergraduate and graduate courses in social work. For this fifth edition, there is expanded emphasis on practice principles and leadership skills, an expanded section on working with reluctant and involuntary group members, and more information on sharing leadership power with group members.
