Description
Summary:The membership perspective of social work offers a new paradigm for further development of group work theory and practice. The member role is universalized as the fundamental interactive unit of social existence. The individual and the group are no longer viewed in a dual perspective but rather as member(s) being and acting together. A major implication of the membership perspective is that worker and client(s) can strive to make choices that take into account self and others as members.
