Evidence-Based Group Work

Abstract

Significant advances have been made in conceptualizing Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) for social work but there has been little discussion about an EBP perspective for group work. Demands of accountability, the values, and ethics of social group work, and the expanding and deepening evidence base for group work require a conceptualization and application of EBP for group work. Building on recent advances in EBP and the tradition of research and practice in group work, this paper describes an Evidence-Based Group Work (EBGW) framework for practice. Implications for advancing EBGW in practice and in group work education are discussed.
