This new edition of a well-established human behavior text brings together a number of major theories that address the biological, psychological, and social aspects of development and considers their utility for social work practice. Centered on the notion of the client as an individual and as a "person in the environment," it explores how each conceptual framework can contribute to understanding the dual aspects of the client. It also evaluates the usefulness of each theoretical approach in terms of assessment and intervention strategies, life-cycle issues, cross-cultural and ethnic concerns, and practice settings. Greene's text provides a coherent approach to selecting concepts that can shape the direction of one's activities in casework and serve as a guide to action. The second edition suggests criteria for evaluating theory, and each chapter is followed by a critique of that theory.
