Reviewer Reaction to Contemporary Human Behavior Theory:
“I would definitely adopt this as a primary textbook for Foundation and advanced HBSE courses. It is also a valuable supplementary text in direct practice courses. It is exceptionally well written and conceptualized.”
―Steven Applewhite, University of Houston
“I see many strengths in this text. Most importantly, the text covers material that I believe is critical in social work education. There simply is no other text that I have found that covers this content.”
―Beverly Black, Wayne State University
