Using a plentiful selection of skill-building and self-evaluation exercises, author Charles Zastrow's comprehensive, workbook-style text promotes his philosophy that you can learn group leadership skills best by practicing them in class. In this seventh edition of SOCIAL WORK WITH GROUPS: A COMPREHENSIVE WORKBOOK, Zastrow discusses topics central to a successful understanding of group leadership: stages of groups, group dynamics, verbal and nonverbal communication, types of groups, and diversity in groups. When you participate in groups, the classroom becomes a "lab" where you can experience what it's like to work in and lead the many kinds of groups the author discusses.

This innovative volume discussed a wide range of approaches to rural development, including commonly used traditional tools such as a manufacturing recruitment as well as interesting newer approaches such as peer group lending to stimulate micro-enterprise development. The text encourages a stronger relationship between the research community and the policy-making community, which would increase the effectiveness of federal and state legislation and implementation of rural development strategies.
