A Two-Fold Unveiling: Unmasking Classism in Group Work

摘要

The pervasive myth of the United States as a “classless society” silences the reality of social class oppression in this country. This silencing has received little attention to date in group work training, research, and practice. Unmasking classism may generate anxiety for group workers and members alike, yet holds potential for significant growth in human relations.
