"Elizabeth Hutchison's latest edition of Dimensions of Human Behavior is a powerful text that captures our changing and developing lives as we each journey through our own distinct life course. The books calls our attention to the importance of the interactions of time, people, and environment as our ongoing life story is played out. As social workers, this text draws our attention to the need to better understand development as a cyclical process, unique for each person. Timely client system examples, diverse family development, and good social work implications and interventions are a few of the many strengths in this edition."
--Susan Tebb, Dean, School of Social Service, Saint Louis University
Dimensions of Human Behavior: Person and Environment, Second Edition presents the time-honored person-in-environment approach to understanding human behavior. It provides a multi-theoretical analysis to help students recognize the dimensions of person and environment involved in behavior. Like the First Edition, the general approach of weaving powerful case studies with theory and research has been maintained, but all chapters have been updated to reflect recent census data, emerging social trends, and new developments in theory and research. This edition also pays greater attention to human diversity.
Person and Environment is the companion volume to The Changing Life Course (ISBN 0-7619-8764-9). The two volumes are also available as a Two-Volume Kit (ISBN 0-7619-8803-3). An Instructor's Manual containing chapter summaries, suggested classroom activities and discussions, and essay and multiple choice questions is also available (ISBN: 0-7619-8804-1).
