Ashford/LeCroy/Rankin's HUMAN BEHAVIOR IN THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT: A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PERSPECTIVE, 7th EDITION, is a comprehensive introduction to human behavior in the social environment that offers an integrative approach to biopsychosocial case formulations to address developmental human behavior concerns within current historical, political and social contexts. The seventh edition builds on prior efforts in promoting a specific method for completing integrative assessments to case studies post-multiple epidemics (coronavirus and systemic racism) across developmental stages. Issues of changing technology, changing historical trends, and changing of the social-political contexts are highlighted to address the core competencies and recommended practice behaviors outlined in the 2022 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
