Product Description

Review

Written directly from the front lines of work with adolescents, this book shows Malekoff to possess a towering sensitivity to what life is like in the drug and violence charged world these youth inhabit; into that world of fatalism, Malekoff brings a breath of hope. - Sue Henry, D.S.W., University of Denver

Presents group work practive honestly, portraying its dilemmas, its raggedness, its rawness, and its genius ... This book should be read by beginning human services students, school teachers, seasoned clinicians, developmental specialists, graduate students, and faculty ... It is a fine textbook for beginning and advances levels. - James A. Garland, L.I.C.S.W., Boston University School of Social Work

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate book on social group work with adolescents., 20 Jan 1999
By A Customer
MaleKoff's book is an extraordinary resource for any who hope to understand the world of adolescents,and the skills that are necessary to work successfully with them. Malekoff brings to his writing several decades of work with these young adults and he has a profound understanding of the difficult and often frightening world they inhabit.The book is sound counceptually, and refers freely to the literature. Malekoff writes with grace,and empathy, as well as with humor.This particular quality,important for work with all ages, is essential in work with this age group.Malekoff also is a published poet, and the book often uses poetry,his own and that of others,to teach and inform the reader. Work with groups has been neglected for many years, as professionals have tended to find it too difficult and unpredictable. Now, Malekoff has shown us the way, and his book will be of great use for social workers with groups, for teachers, and for others who want to work effectively with these young people.The book also is a powerful testimony to the effectiveness of the group work method of social work practice in serving this population.
