Overview

Dimensions of Human Behavior: Person and Environment, Seventh Edition, is the revision of a highly successful text for a core course area in the social work curriculum. The book presents a unique organizing framework which breaks down the core content along three primary dimensions: Person, Environment and Time. This book covers the biological dimension (person) and the social factors (environment) that impact human development and behavior. In addition to aligning with the 2015 Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) curriculum guidelines and the 2018 National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, the changes to this seventh edition include a greater emphasis on culture and diversity, immigration, neuroscience and the impact of technology. There are also twelve new case studies, which have become hallmarks of the Dimensions books, included to further illustrate a balanced breadth and depth of coverage to help readers apply theory and general social work knowledge to unique practice situations.
