Brooks/Cole Empowerment Series: Understanding Human Behavior and the Social Environment (Human Behavior in the Social Environment)
By Midas / September 10, 2013 / 3 Comments / Empowerment
Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman’s UNDERSTANDING HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT looks at lifespan through the lens of social work theory and practice, covering human development and behavior theories within the context of family, organizational, and community systems. Using a chronological lifespan approach, the book presents separate chapters on biological, psychological, and social impacts at the different lifespan stages with an emphasis on strengths and empowerment. As part of the Brooks/Cole Empowerment Series, this edition is completely up to date and thoroughly integrates the core competencies and recommended practice behaviors outlined in the 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).

The book is in great condition! Practically new. I use it very often for my Human Development course. Very useful.
Great book for SW Students. Though written by Canadians – which is not a bad thing just some differences in laws – it is quite helpful. It is written to be used by people in the USA and Canada.
Good Read Book is an excellent easy to read comprehensive guide. Well written and makes understanding and retaining the subject matter easy. Would recommend it to other students.
