It details study methods, process and outcome fi ndings, analysis and recommendations. The key fi nding of the global themes of being together and doing together in social work groups, as well as the identifi cation of local, indigenous practices contribute empirical knowledge about groupwork's international nature, with implications for teaching, research and practice.
