Human Behavior in the Social Environment: A Multidimensional Perspective (Social Work) Book

In this groundbreaking book, authors Jose B. Ashford (an expert in the relationships among human development, crime, and psychopathology), Craig Winston LeCroy (an expert in child and adolescent behavior), and Kathy L. Lortie (an expert in infant mental health) offer a text that is more balanced, integrated, and applied than other texts for the course. In addition, the book's multidimensional framework, integration of the biopsychosocial dimensions for assessing social functioning, attention to foundation knowledge and diversity, and use of case studies to illuminate the applied aspects of HBSE content all combine to give readers an experience that is meaningful and exciting. Using a unique, multidimensional framework for assessing behavior, the authors look at biopsychosocial development across the life span. Lively and comprehensive, this book succeeds where other have failed--it helps students connect foundation knowledge with practice concerns.Read More
