      ab: Group work is one of the areas of practice in which social workers have had unique strengths and advanced skills. However, for the past 20 years there has been a steady decline in group-work content at both undergraduate and graduate levels of social work education. At the same time, this treatment modality is gaining popularity and becoming a major method of service delivery in many agency settings. This article addresses the disconnection between social work education and group-practice needs by presenting an innovative five-part approach to teaching group work. A clear step-by-step guide is provided to aid social work educators in effectively integrating group-work theory with practice skills when teaching both BSW and MSW students.
