Groupwork is a constantly evolving area, and the authors of this book seek to encourage, inspire and lure practitioners into thinking new thoughts and developing new methods. A range of experienced and respected group workers explore developments in their specific fields of practice, moving from well-established approaches towards newer ideas. Subjects covered include group therapy and planetary awareness, experiential groups, merging and splitting, social dreaming, playback theatre and sociodrama.

Running through the book are themes such as the relationship between spiritual belief and group analytic practice; the sustainability of working from traditional theory in an ethos of continuous change; and the development of theory and practice across internally or externally constructed boundaries. This exciting and challenging book reflects the way in which groupwork is changing and moving beyond orthodoxy, and will inspire practitioners in this field.
