n this article, I point to shared problems, urging an interprofessional

dialogue between Anthropology’s Fieldwork and Social Work’s

Group work. Each struggling with academic redundancy, seem also

to suffer from three additional strains: disappearing dyads, where

both are losing key interactional elements (ethnography’s native

isolate and the latter’s lead savant); lost legitimacy, where both find

essentials of their expertise questioned by constituents; and pitfalls

of professional harm, where both seem unsure how to maximize

protections against their malfeasance. Importantly, each profession

notes that reflection girds resilience and competence. Yet neither

has determined quite how astute perpending may improve Fieldwork

and Groupwork hence. Here I put forth, in firming their FICT of

reflection—engagement’s Frequency, Intensity, Complexity and

Transparency—specialists may improve each profession’s prospects
