The ASGW is the ACA division dedicated to which area?

• A. Group work, including group counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducational groups
• B. Assessment and testing
• C. School counseling programs
• D. Career counseling and workforce development

Answer: (A)

The concept tested is which ACA division focuses on group work. The division dedicated to this area is the Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW). It focuses on advancing group-related practice, research, supervision, and training, covering plans and delivery of group counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducational groups across various settings. That emphasis on groups—how to design, facilitate, and evaluate them—is what sets this division apart. The other areas listed correspond to different specialties (assessment and testing; school counseling programs; career counseling and workforce development) that are not primarily about group work, making ASGW the best fit for this question.
