Catalog Course Description
Students examine human development as a basis for social work practice. Human problems are viewed within their environmental context: individuals, families, organizations, and communities, as well as larger social and historical forces which are interactively transformative. Assessments of human problems and intervention strategies are examined in view of this reciprocal impact across environmental systems. Theories related to biological, psychological, spiritual, and cultural processes across the lifespan are studied as expressed through ethnicity, class, cohort, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, and other differences. Particular attention is given to factors that contribute to persons being at risk.

1. Demonstrate understanding of the theoretical perspectives that guide social work practice and their influences in the ways that human problems are assessed.2. Demonstrate an ability to assess human problems from a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual perspective.
