Syllabus:	This course is divided into two weekends (two 18 hour workshops) and will examine therapeutic small group work and social action groups. The first weekend covers the history, theories and practices of small group work, with group planning and the role of the facilitator given prominence. The class simulates a group and creative approaches to ways of working are encouraged. The second weekend invites students to reconsider group facilitation in the light of current social theories and to discuss how thismight affect the position and practice of the facilitator and blur the boundaries stipulated in traditional group work. This weekend introduces ideas of caucusing, consulting and reflecting teams as ways of deconstructing power and hearing the voice of the expert participant.
