The new edition has been fully revised to consider how issues at all stages of life affect different populations. It is fully updated with new theories and perspectives throughout, including indigenous theory, new feminism, and restorative justice. It reflects changes in many areas of the curriculum and field, including issues and critiques surrounding the DSM, terminology used in the profession, and other practice realms. Chapters have been supplemented with new end-of-topic assignments and include a brand-new feature, Quick Guides, to support students in their fieldwork.
The rich coverage of the major theories, themes, and issues that are important to understand for social work practice is extended and enlivened by the range of teaching and learning resources available on the dedicated website www.routledgesw.com. Interactive cases and social work profiles bring theory and concepts to life and allow students to apply their knowledge to realistic practice issues.
Human Behavior in the Social Environment develops students’ understanding of the complexity of the issues they will face in the field and the critical thinking skills essential for social work practice. Together with its dedicated website, this foundational text provides a dynamic, experiential introduction for students at Bachelor’s and Master’s levels of social work education and which can be applied to both generalist and specialized practice.

Recenzii
Human Behavior in the Social Environment is a comprehensive and well-researched text which covers the theories and perspectives on development across the lifespan. In an ever-evolving field, the author painstakingly addresses these changes to make the text relevant and timely. A must-have textbook for any Human Development course!

In my experience, my students deeply engage with Anissa Taun Rogers’ Human Behavior in the Social Environment textbook. In particular, they often find that the case studies help to bring the content alive! The cases are introduced at the beginning of each chapter, and then revisited throughout after ‘bite-sized’ pieces of information have been presented. This on-going application of theoretical or life-span material helps the student consider accessible amounts of information in light of the case. As faculty, I find that this can be revisited in class discussions and small group exercises to reinforce their understanding, vocabulary development, and confidence in applying complex ideas.

Dr. Rogers’ book Human Behavior in the Social Environment offers students very imperative theoretical and practical knowledge on human development and behavior throughout the life course. The book presents vital information on the interplay between persons and their social environment, and it effectively demonstrates how these interactions are both interconnected and interdependent. The text offers very useful supporting materials and special cases that facilitate the learning and development of students experientially. This combination of resources provides students with an opportunity to learn in action, thus solidifying best practice and empowering them to use critical thinking frameworks to inform and guide their eventual practice with clients.
