The social ecological perspective of human behavior and development
maintains a multidimensional focus on diverse persons in diverse
environments. Carel B. Germain and Martin Bloom succinctly present
this ecological view on the observation that human beings and their
social environments always form a unified -- though not necessarily
harmonious -- configuration; this configuration is the basic unit
of analysis for understanding the factual material encountered in
social work. Employing the person-and-environment approach to
examine all aspects of human development, "Human Behavior in the
Social Environment" discusses the biological, psychological,
social, and cultural influences that shape the functioning of
individuals, families, households, social groups, communities, and
organizations, and relates how these collectives affect development
over the life course. It also takes into account the expected and
unexpected stresses, challenges, and life tasks that can influence
development within social environments.
Reflecting the guidelines set forth by the National Association
of Social Workers and the Council on Social Work Education, this
book enables the social worker, whether student or professional, to
build a theoretical foundation for work in the field. This new
edition provides the latest theoretical developments and research
findings in the social, behavioral, and biological sciences and
includes new chapters on the significant forces affecting
significant social behavior in specific organizational and
educational settings.
