In addition, the book's grounding in multicultural contexts and theory set it apart as a book for its time. Robert K. Conyne, PhD, Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati Shakoor appears to be a seasoned worker with much experience. He demonstrates an ability to simplify complex concepts. This is evident in the graceful language he uses to describe facets of the group experience...the drama of the fictitious group is compelling, and the author's descriptions of psychological concepts are pertinent to social group workers. The book's strength lies in the author's use of language, especially when discussing aspects of self-awareness. Keren Ludwig, Social Work with Groups
