SW-572 HUM BEHAVIOR SOCIAL ENVIRON I
This is the first of a two-course sequence that provides a social work context in introducing students to theories and theoretical models that explain reciprocal influences in shaping human behavior. This course examines human growth and development from conception to very old age and death through the lens of psychosocial developmental theory and resiliency theory. The influence of race, culture, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, physical and cognitive capacities, social and economic injustice, and sexual orientation are presented as variables that play a central role in influencing the transactions between the person and the environment. The interplay of social systems with the developmental process is introduced.
