Dimensions Of Human Behavior : Person And Environment

E-Book Overview

Social work has historically used the idea of person-in-environment to develop a multidimensional understanding of human behavior. The idea that human behavior is multidimensional has become popular with most social and behavioral science disciplines. Recently, we have recognized the need to add the aspect of time to the person–environment construct, to capture the dynamic, changing nature of person-in-environment. The purpose of this book is to help you to breathe life into the abstract idea of person-in-environment. As I did in the first four editions, I identify relevant dimensions of both person and environment, and my colleagues and I present up-to-date reports on theory and research about each of these dimensions. All the while, we encourage you to link the micro world of personal experience with the macro world of social trends—to recognize the unity of person and environment. We help you make this connection by showing how several of the same theories have been used to understand dimensions of both person and environment.
