Groups That Work: Structure and ProcessSocial workers, planners, health professionals, and human-service administrators spend much of their time in meetings, working in and with groups. What meaning does participation in these groups have for members? Some of the events that are most important for members of the various professions, and those whom they serve, take place within these groups.

In short, these groups are relied upon to come up with creative solutions to complex problems. |
