Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Since the publication of the first edition of Human Behavior in the Social Environment, several generations of students have successfully used this classic text, which takes a social systems approach to human behavior. Completely revised and updated, this fifth edition shows a full sensitivity to the diverse constituencies of the human services. It reflects awareness of the role of varied cultural and ethnic features within the social environment it explores, and of the importance of the lengthened life cycle. It responds to our understanding of human behavior and to the needs of students and instructors as these have developed since the publication of the previous edition. For the first time, an ancillary diskette to assist in teaching the systems approach is available on request for instructors who have adopted this new edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to systems theory, July 3, 2009
By D. Reedy (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This product is a great little introduction to key concepts of systems theory that also dives into the various levels of human interaction. It is basic enough to be easily understandable and comprehensive enough to be useful in one's professional and personal life. Highly recommend. On of the top 10 books in my professional library at the moment. Have to disagree with the review that you need a professor to guide you. Recommend for anyone dealing with people within an institutional or social setting.
