The Group as an Object of Desire: Exploring Sexuality in Group Therapy by Nitsun,M.

This paper represents an exploration and analysis of the social work literature on the selection of the group as the service form of choice, and a search for a possible abstraction, from the literature, of a common principle indicative for the use of the group form. The paper examines the historical development of practice toward the specification of group use, analyzes the nature of descriptions regarding group use according to their components, reviews existing classification schemes pertaining to group use, and offers a classification scheme emerging from this exploration of literature. From this discussion, an attempt is made to formulate an abstraction pertaining to group use.
