Human Behavior Theory and Social Work Practice with Marginalized
Oppressed Populations addresses what social workers can do to
combat the increasingly complex social concerns that face the
profession, and explores how to incorporate the celebration of
diversity and the protection of human rights into social work
curricula and the helping process. The authors combine human
behavior theories with a narrative, postmodern practice methodology
that deals with both the client's or constituencies' presenting
problem and equity issues, and, as a result, the book is both
theoretical and applied. Two major integrating themes throughout
are at the forefront of the book-the celebration of diversity and
the equality of human rights. The goal is to strengthen diversity
and human rights components of the social work curriculum and to
provide more practice guidelines for cross-cultural practice.

Social work practice has evolved to meet the needs of the time, the
problems that are present, and the knowledge and skills available.
Given the more recent rapidly changing stressful environments,
political, economic, demographic, sociocultural, and ideological
change has affected how practice is defined. Now it is even more
essential for there to be innovative theoretical concepts and
intervention strategies to support current practice. This textbook
addresses today's context of social work practice that needs to
deal with the complexity of personal and social relationships, the
continuing historical flux of the times, and the constant anxiety
or "threats and pulls" of daily life. The text is based on the idea
that social work practice requires a research and theoretical base
that allows practitioners to build on a client's ability to persist
in the face of life's challenges and to proceed positively with
life events. The Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model (RESM) is an
outgrowth of the profession's interest in strength-based
person-environment approaches - grounded in generalist social work
practice that offers a range of intervention practice methods with
diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and
communities. RESM was developed to provide the skill set for
working with clients and constituencies across the
individual-family-community configuration during times of distress.
It also can be a welcomed addition to social work practice with
people undertaking life transitions and overcoming disruption to
individual, family, and community function. Topics explored
include: An Evolving Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model Interviewing
to Promote Resilience Among Marginalized Populations Co-creating a
Grand Narrative: The Intersection of Individual, Family, and
Community Practice Connecting Communal Living, Ecology, and
Resilience A Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model: A Social Work
Multisystemic Practice Approach is a timely text for human behavior
and practice methods at the generalist or advanced generalist
levels in social work. It can also be used at the doctoral level of
social work education depending on the professor's attention to the
depth of theoretical concepts. Practitioners in the field may find
the contents useful to their professional enrichment.
