Written by and for social workers this text uses a systems theory framework to cover human development and behaviour theories within the context of family, organizational, and community systems. Consistent with the curriculum policy statements of the CSWE, content on social work values and ethics, diversity, social and economic justice and populations-at-risk is also included. Theories relevant to myriad practice settings are demonstrated by providing case examples, illustrations, photos, and exercises in every chapter. With thorough coverage of theories at all levels (micro, mezzo, macro) the book is comprehensive and provides students with a sound base on which to build assessment skills.
