Aims and scope
As the official publication of the Association for Specialists in Group Work, The Journal for Specialists in Group Work is an indispensable resource for both practitioners and educators working with groups in clinical, organizational, educational and community settings.

The Journal for Specialists in Group Work is directed toward group work practitioners with a focus on group work theory, interventions, training, current issues, and research. The group process is a powerful method for development and change in the individual, the organization, and the community.

promote the practice of group work
cover the continuum of types of group work – from task to therapy groups
emphasize the processes that make groups effective
integrate theory and practice
provide specific information about how to lead groups and train group leaders.
