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
for 21

C. prominence.
