      Smith, Mark K. (infed.org, 2012-12-05)

      What is group work? While many practitioners may describe what they do as ‘group work’, they often have only a limited appreciation of what group work is and what it entails.

      Paula Braveman; Elaine Arkin; Tracy Orleans; Dwayne Proctor; Alonzo Plough (2017)

The report notes that definitions can matter and that, in the case of health equity, clarity is important, especially given that working towards equity is a struggle that must engage diverse ...
