Human Behavior and the Social Environment: Models, Metaphors, and Maps for Applying Theoretical Perspectives to Practice
This first edition theories-based book for human behavior provides students with three key tools for theory-by-theory comprehension: models, metaphors and maps. These tools help students to easily compare and contrast theories as well as understand their relevance to social work practice. Editorial Reviews Review "I think Models, Metaphors, and Maps (brings the theories) alive and does an excellent job of having an active and rich conversation with the reader. I think students will enjoy this book and because the theories are operationalized, this will help students visualize how to use theories." "Extremely well presented, very logical and organized, easy to read, appealing for students, provides handles for the understanding and application of theory. Sufficient detail without becoming burdensome. Makes theory come alive." About the Author Dr. Forte is an Associate Professor at Salisbury University in the social work department.
