Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"The enduring strength of this text, which is only enhanced by such additions as the concept maps (CHARTS?) and study charts, is its ability to link theory and research with social work practice. The bio--psycho-social framework which is practically applied in the various case examples provides for students a realistic example of how to organize what they have learned in to a framework for assessment in practice. We are in a practice profession. For me, theory and research provides the foundation for building our assessments and interventions with client systems of all sizes. This book provides that foundation."

Reseña del editor

Ashford, LeCroy, and Lortie's ground-breaking book offers students a balanced, integrated introduction to human behavior in the social environment. Lively and comprehensive, this book succeeds by helping students connect foundation knowledge with practice concerns. Clarified through the introduction of study tables and concept maps (at the end of each discussion behavior in the development chapters), the authors look at biopsychosocial development across the life span using an integrative multidimensional approach, discussing integrative practice, theory, treatment, and services throughout. This multidimensional framework provides a concrete tool for the reader to assess human behavior from a perspective that truly reflects the values and knowledge base of the social work profession. Together, the book's solid coverage of foundation knowledge, integration of the biopsychosocial dimensions for assessing social functioning, its multidimensional framework, and its use of case studies to illuminate the applied aspects of HBSE content--along with the authors' consistent attention to diversity--successfully combine to give readers a meaningful, exciting experience.
