Human Behavior Theory for Social Work Practice is a text that is aligned with the new EPAS standards to focus on critical theory of human behavior by providing an in-depth presentation of each theory as well as a framework for critiquing and applying each theory. Differing from the traditional lifespan approach, this text dives into presenting each theory but then applies it to cases that represent different stages across the human life span. This text is an ideal offering for programs that are looking for a deeper examination of theory at the micro and macro level and teach the course in one semester.
