Abstract

This article contains a report of lessons the authors have been developing based on their group work in China. These lessons, organized in accordance with the Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW) Best Practice Guidelines, are derived from 5 years of experience in studying, planning, delivering, and researching group work in China. Lessons learned include understanding how cultural imperatives apply and work gets done in relation to planning, being sensitive to the uniqueness of another culture's communication styles and attitudes about leadership in regard to performing, and providing sufficient time to allow for comfortable accommodation of differences in language and culture during processing. It is intended that these evolving lessons will be beneficial to other group workers who may become involved with Chinese applications.
