in 1965. His Masters Degree in Social Work is from the Columbia University School
of Social Work in New York City (1967), where his major course of study was Group
Work.
Dick's
work with groups in the
South Bronx of New York
City was the one student
example of group work presented
to all the professional
group work community of
New York City in 1967. It
was then published in the
book The Practice of
Group Work edited by
William Schwartz, the originator
of the group work model
Dick teaches.
Dick
has used the group work
skills he learned to break
ground in many areas, including
stopping homosexual rape
almost completely for four
years at the military maximum
security prison at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas. He
also used group work (therapy)
to help the angriest, most
assaultive prisoners leave
solitary confinement and
get on with their lives.
