The calls for greater focus on multiculturalism and diversity in group work are numerous. Attention now needs to be extended to an admonition for the theoretical and empirical literature to examine the relevance of social privilege to group work. If it is considered imperative within a heterogeneous group to address group member differences, then the field must consider not only differences that are visible and on the surface, such as overt racism, sexism and prejudice, but also the invisible and subversive disenfranchisement that results from social oppression. Failing to address social privilege on its own merit, and its impact on group dynamics and processes, reinforces the invisibility of the construct and will con to covert oppression within group work. Fortunately, the push toward addressing issues of privilege and other social justice issues within larger field of counseling is gaining momentum. The foundation of this movement is the awareness that counselors are optimally positioned in society to confront the social injustices that negatively impact clients, group and society at large. Group work has historically been one of the most import specialties among the mental health fields. To maintain its relevance in the helping professions, the construct of social privilege must be addressed in the education, training and practice of group facilitators.
