There are several important reasons why those who seek to learn group practice must have a good deal of experience practicing the skills of group leadership. First, while many people have years of experience being helpers in one-on-one situations, few have the opportunities that group leaders have. In our everyday lives, we are called upon to help friends, colleagues, and others. Helping others in one-on-one situations is natural and almost routine. Such is not the case with our group experiences. While we all have experience being members of groups, rarely do we learn to be change agents in groups. We need to learn what skills are needed to facilitate change within groups, and to practice these skills. Second, what might constitute good helping behaviors in one-on-one dyadic situations differs from what is effective in groups. Third, most social work field experiences emphasize individual and family work rather than group work; educational programs must help students gain mastery of group skills Fourth, group work is a wonderful means of bridging the too often artificial divide between micro and macro practice---From the preface
