SW 452 Person in Environment II (3)

The second of a two-course sequence on human behavior in the context of the social environment. The primary focus is on assessment using evidence-informed theoretical frameworks to understand those factors which either enable or inhibit individuals and social systems to perform their daily expectable tasks. Special attention is given to families and the individual through the developmental life span. Particular emphasis is placed on the influence of diversity–including culture, sexual orientation, race, gender, spirituality, physical or cognitive ability–in the development of the person and in the clarification of values. (See PS 452, SO 452.)
