SWK 6103 - Human Behavior & Social Environment
Credits: 3
In this course the theoretical underpinnings of human development in the social environment over the life course are explored. Students learn the biopsychosocial spiritual aspect of human development as it impacts the individual and social systems. Theories of the effects of trauma exposure on human development are emphasized in this course. Cultural diversity, populations-at-risk, and issues of social and economic justice are addressed across the developmental stages and societal boundaries. Furthermore, students learn to evaluate theoretical perspectives and apply theories to client situations and systems with an understanding and appreciation for the impact of social and economic forces and diverse backgrounds. Values and ethical principles related to various theoretical perspectives are infused throughout the curriculum to enhance students’ awareness of their personal values and clarification of conflicting values and ethical dilemmas.
