Task-centered groupwork

Reflections on practice

T. Wing Lo

Department of Applied Social Studies, City University of Hong Kong, sstwl{at}cityu.edu.hk

English

This article describes the transferability of task-centered casework to group-work in Hong Kong. While task-centered casework helps individual clients to solve their personal problems, its short intervention period may limit the development of intensive social support and treatment in groups. The article summarizes social workers’ experiences in reconciling this conflict.

Cet article décrit le processus de transfert, à Hong Kong, de cas individuels de travail orienté vers la tache en travail de groupe. Si l'intervention individuelle orientée vers la tâche aide les clients à solutionner leurs problèmes personnels, son intervention de courte durée risque de limiter le développement de traitement et de soutien social intensif de groupe. Le texte résume les expériences de travailleurs sociaux dans un effort de réconciliation de ce conflit.
