Understanding Human Behavior and the Social Environment (Empowerment), 11th Edition by Charles H. Zastrow, Karen K. Kirst-Ashman, and Sarah Hessenauer is a leading social work textbook published by Brooks/Cole/Cengage. The primary focus of this text is accurate assessment - the essential first step in facilitating positive changes in individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
Focusing on individual behavior within families and other systems, this book helps students understand the underlying reasons why people act the way they do. Students learn about biological, psychological, and social development at different lifespan stages, as well as the benefits of strengths and empowerment approaches to social work practice.
The 11th edition's content aligns with the core competencies and recommended behaviors outlined in the current Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), ensuring students are prepared for accredited practice. Core topics include human development across the lifespan, systems theory, family dynamics, group work, community practice, cultural competence, and social justice.
This is the essential resource for students in BSW and MSW programs preparing for social work licensure examinations including the ASWB Bachelor's, Master's, and Advanced Generalist examinations, as well as for programs seeking CSWE accreditation alignment.
