Publisher's Synopsis
This revised text provides a multidimensional framework, integration of the biopsychosocial dimensions for assessing social functioning, attention to foundation knowledge and diversity, and use of case studies to illuminate the applied aspects of HBSE content. The authors look at biopsychosocial development across the life span. Essentially, the framework provides a concrete tool for the reader to assess human behaviour from a perspective that truly reflects the values and knowledge base of the social work profession.
