Social Group Work: Historical Evolution and Introduction in India -- Role Theory -- Ecological Perspective -- Understanding Indian Family -- Task-Centered Group Work -- Strength-Based Social Group Work Practice -- Gestalt Therapy and Social Group Work -- Raja Yoga and Social Group Work -- Spirituality and Social Group Work.

This book describes relevant theories, such as task-centered and strength-perspective interventions for the practice of social group work, within contemporary India. These two theories are complemented by additional theories including Gestalt Therapy, Spirituality, and Raja Yoga. These theories fill the gap in the literature to indigenize social group work interventions. The book is divided into four parts: History of Social Group Work and Introduction in India The Indian Family Structural Properties of Group Work Using Case Studies in Social Group Work Education In addition, there are two separate chapters on leadership-leadership in social work groups and leader interventions relevant to Indian society. At the end of each chapter, a summary and applicable practice principles are presented. It explicitly presents the value of short and task-oriented group work. It mobilizes the group members' strengths to work through problems that Indian children, parents, working adults, and the elderly experience. The group process is presented with a focus on the present-day Indian cultural context, which is relevant for a range of practitioners in the helping professions. This important book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of social work, community practitioners, voluntary organizations, and social activists.
