As the official publication of the Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW), we are deeply committed to publishing strong group work articles that can inform the practice of group work. This comes from our deep roots within the broader profession of counselor education and is informed by the scientist-practitioner model (Jones & Mehr, 2007) that serves as a foundation for our field. The scientist-practitioner model is a training (and we would suggest practice) model that integrates science with practice, whereas “each must continually inform the other” (Belar & Perry, 1992, pp. 72). What this means for our clinical-rooted profession is that research coming out of the field should be reflective of the practice taking place within that field, and practice that is occurring should be researched. As a specialty journal focused on group work, we are invested in securing rigorous articles that can inform the science and practice of group work. Although each of our submission categories reflect the scientist-practitioner model in some way, the category that most directly reflects this mission is the “Practice” category. The description of practice manuscripts can be found in the “Aims and Scope” page of our journal’s website and notes,","PeriodicalId":45501,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Specialists in Group Work","volume":"22 1","pages":"1 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78826586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from grounded theory analytical methods, a core relational process, sharing stories eases pain, was derived from the data to explain how group members came to develop close, caring relationships, which led to other psychosocial benefits. The findings fill a gap in the group treatment literature specific to refugees and advance understanding of group relationships as an active ingredient promoting change. Findings also suggest that group based treatment may be uniquely suited to address some of the broader social-relational consequences of conflict and forced migration.","PeriodicalId":45501,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Specialists in Group Work","volume":"13 1","pages":"110 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90293056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Goodrich","doi":"10.1080/01933922.2021.1985330","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01933922.2021.1985330","url":null,"abstract":"“What does it mean to be a specialist in group work?” As the editor of a journal named The Journal for Specialists in Group Work (JSGW), this has become an important question for me for the last four years or so. It is something that I had not questioned deeply before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic but saw as undisputed aspect of my reality. As a member of the Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW) I was a specialist, surrounded by other specialists, and each of us focused our lives and work around the groups we were a part of or created. We were also a group unto itself, and as “groupies” (the unofficial nickname of ASGW members) celebrated aspects of group throughout our lives and practice. How could anyone question “group work” or the specialist designation that followed those counted among our ranks? The COVID-19 pandemic provided me a good deal of time to reflect and question, which is something I did across all areas of my life. One question that continued to come up for me, however, had to deal with something that had been an unquestioned and routine part of my academic life. Who is a specialist and, by extension, as we review, edit, and publish articles in our journal, how do we know we are holding true to the needs of our readership who expect to review our pages to deepen their specialist-level understandings of group work? This has also appeared to be a hard question for many of the authors who submit to our journal, many of whom have provided us submissions that have spanned the spectrum of group work. Although I believe our journal’s “aims and scope” page provide some level of detail about how we define group work for the purposes of our journal, we periodically receive submissions from scholars across fields of education (i.e., in relation to teachers assigning tasks in groups to students in K-12 schools or in university settings), social psychology (e.g., in-group and out-group research), political science (i.e., explorations of conflict between two national groups or orientations), etc. that explore non-clinical/counseling forms of group work. As these submissions do not meet what I believe the journal’s intentions are for group work, I have found myself forced to provide desk rejections and comments to authors who send us these manuscripts that address other forms of group work. I always attempt to be kind (or as kind as one can be when providing a rejection disposition) and provide other options for these scholars to disseminate their work. The other form of group work manuscripts that comes to our journal (and comes from scholars both within and outside of our counseling disciplines) involves research about groups, but the manuscripts themselves do not appear focused on the group under exploration (e.g., group dynamics, group leadership, group techniques, etc.). Research is the primary focus of these manuscripts, whereas the group itself appears to either serve as a secondary focus, or unaddressed element.
