This diverse collection of articles by group work professionals who work in the classroom and in the field captures not only the art and science of social work but also its soul, highlighting practice, teaching, and writing ideas that promote the power of group work-and the people who do it. Making Joyful Noise reinforces the value and uniqueness of group work as a positive, optimistic, empowering, and affirming way of working with people. The articles presented here cover a wide range of age groups, populations, and settings and include examples on the use of activity and discussion in groups: a poetry club for children, the meaning of camp for preadolescents, a boxing group for adolescents who live in the inner city, self-defense classes for adults, and caregiver support for the elderly.
