About this book
Empowerment Series Understanding Human Behavior and the Social Environment 11th edition by Charles H. Zastrow, Karen K. Kirst-Ashman, and Sarah L. Hessenauer examines how biological, psychological, social, cultural, and environmental forces shape human behavior across the life course. The book uses the person in environment perspective to connect individual development with families, groups, organizations, communities, and larger social systems that influence everyday functioning and well being.
The 11th edition covers theories of human development, biological and psychological influences, socialization, identity, families, groups, organizations, communities, and the broader social environment. It also addresses culture, race and ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic conditions, trauma, resilience, social inequality, and the ways environmental pressures and support systems affect development, behavior, coping, and adaptation.
This book is especially useful for Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Students, Master of Social Work (MSW) Students, Human Behavior in the Social Environment (HBSE) Students, Human Services Students, Counseling Students, Psychology Students, Sociology Students, Social Work Interns, and practitioners strengthening person in environment assessment skills. It is particularly relevant for courses and field placements that require students to connect developmental theory with family, community, and systems level influences.
BSW and MSW students, social work interns, counselors, human services students, and professionals working with individuals and families can use this edition to analyze behavior within social context, identify environmental stressors and supports, and improve case assessment across diverse populations. The 11th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access, so you can begin studying immediately for HBSE coursework, field education, case analysis, practicum, exams, or professional training.
