G-Dog is a story about second chances - about the charismatic visionary Greg Boyle, a Jesuit priest who rescues kids from gangs by launching the nation's largest, most successful gang intervention and rehab program, Homeboy Industries, now an international model. The film tells the entertaining, often hilarious story of how Father Boyle, called G-Dog by homies, became a gang expert using a powerful idea: "Nothing Stops a Bullet Like a Job." By providing job training, tattoo removal, counseling, yoga, fatherhood and substance abuse classes - all free, Homebody in Los Angeles has a 70% success rate at saving kids at risk from gang life, rescuing thousands of former gang members. It's the one place in the 'hood that turns live around and builds a productive future for young men and women. It's a place of hope and kinship, a community where Father Boyle says, "no matter what, the day won't ever come where I withdraw or withhold, or cut you off.. that day won't ever come."

Small social groups are fundamental for achieving personal growth, social development, socialization, and the skills of sustaining relevance, relationships, and connections to society. Unfortunately, those who would benefit most from small groups often find themselves unable to achieve membership. Lacking the necessary skills for entry, these individuals may never enjoy the advantages of group membership. Advancing a practice methodology that specifically targets the socially unskilled, Norma C. Lang provides much-needed guidance to practitioners helping individuals become part of group life. Grounded in extensive practice, Lang's methodology addresses the special needs and anomalous functioning of individuals who lack the skills to form and use groups. She outlines the unique pregroup processes of socially unskilled populations and provides a methodology for advancing social competence. She also identifies the professional and agency requirements for working with presocial processes. Widely applicable to practice with social work groups, Lang's method greatly expands the literature on social work theory and practice with individuals and groups.
