Review
"Vimala Pillari's 'Human Behavior in the Social Environment, Second Edition' is an oasis in the desert of social work reading. Uniquely, each chapter combines the life-span theory and implications for social work practice, presenting the most current information on social problems. . .a tapestry of respect and dedication for both student and client. Pillari's book, filled with personal vignettes, imparts not only an intellectual perspective, but a humanness which captures the goals at the very heart of the social work profession, education, and respect for the individual. Dr. Pillari's lucid and penetrating presentation compels the student of social work to understand with the mind, and lead with the heart, a must for every dedicated social worker." "I am very pleased that you have separated the material on Individual Life Span in one book [this book] and that mid-level and larger systems is in another book [Human Behavior in the Social Environment: Families, Groups, Organizations, and Communities]. I think this plan gives faculty many different options. Use both together, use one or the other. I am very pleased and excited about these books in combination." ." . . the 'first' real attempt to provide a balanced view of the developmental, systematic, and diverse elements of human behavior and the social environment under one instructional/conceptual model. The sheer volume and diversity of material in [these books] is such that almost an infinite number of both course emphases and/or instructional options are open. This is certainly superior to any previous materials of which I'm aware."
