    Os grupos são instrumentos poderosos para influenciar, mudar comportamentos, competências e cognições dos membros, facilitando a reformulação de problemas que estes enfrentam no mundo real e conduzindo a novas reflexões, aprendizagens. O trabalho de grupo é uma forma de intervenção nos grupos orientando padrões de interação, programas de atividade em que os membros através do seu relacionamento têm oportunidade de crescimento, desenvolvimento pessoal e diversas aprendizagens melhorando as capacidades dos indivíduos.São inúmeras as definições de trabalho social com grupos ainda que o consenso sobre as mesmas seja escasso. Sendo um método ou uma prática do Serviço Social, recorre e utiliza os processos que emergem quando mais de três pessoas trabalham com um propósito comum. Em síntese, é um contexto profissional em que os assistentes sociais orientam ou conduzem grupos intencionalmente para a realização de objetivos individuais e ou coletivos.Após a década de 70 do seculo XX foi assinalável o declínio no interesse pelos grupos e métodos para neles intervir, mas recentemente ressurgiu em vários contextos o interesse pelo ensino e investigação sobre metodologias e competências profissionais para trabalhar e intervir em grupo. O presente trabalho assinala a resiliência do campo e desafia ao seu estudo no contexto português.The groups are powerful tools for influencing, changes behavior, cognitions and skills of members by facilitating the reformulation of problems they face in the real world and leading to new thinking, learning.
