Andrew Malekoff does a wonderful job of sharing what real group work is all about. He is humble, has a sense of humor and true appreciation for adolescents. He shares his years of experience and the wisdom he has gained in a generous and very understandable way.

This has been the most useful book I've found on this subject in 18 years of facilitating adolescent support and therapy groups. The author's clarity, clinical sense, and humor made this a pleasure to read.
The ultimate book on social group work with adolescents.

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.
