First Published in 1975, Use of Groups in Social Work Practice seeks to encourage caseworkers to use groups as an integral part of their professional practice and assumes that no one book could entirely meet this need.

Bernard Davies (at the time of the first publication of the book) was with the Department of Applied Social Studies, University of Warwick.
