This timely text draws on interdisciplinary theory and research to
examine the multidimensional risk and protective factors for eight
challenges of living frequently encountered by social workers. The
authors provide a working model for social workers to integrate the
most up-to-date evidence about challenges of living they face in
their daily practice. Using a multidimensional
biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective, the book examines etiology,
course, and intervention strategies related to these eight
challenges of living. Key Features Examines exemplar challenges of
living: The working model is applied to eight major problems
commonly encountered by social workers-financial impoverishment;
community violence; child maltreatment; traumatic stress disorders;
substance abuse; obesity; HIV/AIDS; and major depression. Presents
a range of theories of causation: The book provides up-to-date and
accessible coverage of biological risk and protective factors and
emphasizes how each challenge of living is experienced across
diverse identity groups. Makes the material come alive: Four life
studies are woven throughout chapters to illustrate theory and
research. Promotes critical thinking: Active Learning Exercises
help students integrate knowledge about the case, knowledge about
the self, and values and ethics with general knowledge from the
behavioral sciences. Intended Audience This is an excellent
supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses
in social work and counseling such as Human Behavior in the Social
Environment and Social Work Prevention. Since the book offers an
interdisciplinary perspective, it may also be of interest to those
in the psychology, public health, and allied health disciplines.
