Description
This bestseller is ideal for use in either one-semester or year-long generalist human behavior courses. Why? Because the text is concise and easily used in a one-semester course. But the text also comes with a companion set of readings and three unique cases that encourage your students to "learn by doing" and to apply their knowledge of human behavior to best practices. Go to www.routledgesw.com/hbse to learn more. These additional resources easily allow you to use the text (and its related resources) in a two-semester sequence.
Reviews / Votes
"This textbook provides a relief to my apprehensions about utilizing and recommending a compelling, high quality, timely reference book on the foundational topic of human behavior and the social environment. As a professor who teaches HBSE at the undergraduate and graduate levels I very much appreciate the publication of this text."-Sandra Owens, University of Nevada, Las Vegas"What an excellent introduction to Human Behavior in the Social Environment. This book combines a comprehensive overview of the theoretical premises that help inform practice with lifespan development. The use of case studies at the beginning of each chapter helps students to learn how to apply the theoretical frameworks and concepts to situations that they could face in the field."-Sara Sanders, University of Iowa
"Dr. Rogers' textbook facilitates student learning about Human Behavior in the Social Environment by stimulating critical thinking about theory as applied to social work practice. Core issues in social work including oppression, diversity, social and economic justice, social change, spirituality and social action are well addressed at points across the lifespan."-Scott Meyer, Plymouth State University
