Abstract: This article describes how the Reid and Epstein task-centered casework model can be extended to work with groups. The steps in this application to groups include (1) a pregroup interview in which decisions on group participation are made; (2) a group composition decision to secure group conditions which will facilitate task attainment; (3) a process of group formation during which members help one another to specify their tasks; (4) group processes aimed at task accomplishment facilitated by worker interventions which relate simultaneously to individuals, group conditions, and extra-group conditions; and (5) termination in which progress is assessed and group leave taking facilitated.
