Essentials of Human Behavior

Synopsis

The best-selling Dimensions of Human Behavior texts will soon be available in one volume! The essential contents from both Person and Environment and the Changing Life Course have been condensed and streamlined for single semester courses and BSW programs. The book will retain many of the hallmark features of the classic texts, such as the in-depth case studies, the theoretical application throughout each chapter, the focus on diversity and neuroscience, student margin notes, and implications for practice, however, the content has been carefully examined and streamlined. The book will present the key multidimensional framework of person, environment and time and then will examine each element across various chapters. The psychological, biological and spiritual person will be retained, many of the life course chapters will be condensed and the macro/environmental chapters will be reduced to three chapters.
