Description
Faculty Description:HUMAN BEHAVIOR IN THE MACRO SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT: AN EMPOWERMENT APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING COMMUNITIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND GROUPS, International Edition, helps students learn how to promote positive change by building upon the strengths of macro systems, taking them straight to the heart of what social work is all about. Author Karen Kirst-Ashman provides a comprehensive overview of human behavior in a macro setting, while citing real-world practice and case studies to support theories and their application. The text focuses on empowerment—encouraging communities, organizations, and groups to promote change from the inside out. Students are encouraged to think critically about how macro systems affect human behavior, and ultimately, how they shape the practice of social work. Updated throughout, the fourth edition offers new, expanded, and/or revised coverage of issues for LGBTQ individuals, international social work organizations, the Hawthorne effect, cognitive behavioral therapy, and many other topics.
