This book accessibly explains key concepts including attachment, trauma, developmental psychology and oppression to highlight and enhance social workers' understanding of practice.Thoroughly updated since its popular first edition, the book now includes:   A brand new chapter on Attachment More coverage of neurological concepts and their influence on behaviour Expanded material on older people and resilience, crime and violence against black and minority ethnic groups, and domestic violence issuesMore coverage of mental health, alcohol and drugs and their impact on behaviour Fully updated to reflect the Munro report and recent social worker task force recommendations, this new edition also includes brand new and additional case studies and pedagogy, making this a practical, insightful and wonderfully comprehensive text suitable for all students of social work. \"This second edition is a most inclusive, accessible and fully updated text. It provides a thorough overview of the major theories and concepts and brings these to life with case examples. The inclusion of contemporary issues such as domestic abuse is a welcome feature. I would fully recommend this text to any student studying for a social work qualification.\" Debbie Thackray, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK\"This second edition expands on topics that are vital to good social work practice. The chapters on attachment and trauma are particularly well-written, and speak to topics often overlooked in academic texts. The sections on foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) provide readers with essential knowledge that will enhance practice on many levels. Although this has been written in the context of social work practice, this important book will be compulsory reading for a broad range of students... I consider this an invaluable contribution to any student library.\" Jill Davey, Framework Lead for Social Work, Sociology, Social Policy and Anthropology, Bournemouth University, UK\"This is the most useful text I have ever found for teaching social care and youth students the basic explanatory frameworks for human behaviour. It is superbly balanced in that it gives weight to all perspectives and proffers critiques of key theories. It is also very strong in applying theory to practice - a skill which is always difficult to develop in students. Particular areas of strength are the chapters on attachment and mental health\/ trauma. The work is an engaging read as it includes some fascinating historical insights and illustrations as well as contemporary case studies. I will certainly recommend it to my students.\" Gwen Chaney, Course Leader for Social Care \u0026amp; Faculty Lead for Learning and Teaching, University of Gloucestershire, UK","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552641229073,"sku":"GOR007316484","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571373383953,"sku":"GOR011039551","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50045772824849,"sku":"NGR9780335262847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0335262848.jpg?v=1750974112"},{"product_id":"social-work-perspectives-on-human-behaviour-book-margarete-parrish-9780335223671","title":"Social Work Perspectives on Human Behaviour","description":"\"Although this book is primarily for social workers it has great relevance for all students and practitioners working with people.

It is up to the usual high standard of OU texts.\" Gavin Bissell, University of Bradford, UK\"This book could be used for a range of social work modules from professional studies looking at social work methods and theory through to enabling students on placement to link suitable theory to human behaviour.  It is a highly considered and comprehensive book which I will be recommending to students.\" Rhiannon Jones, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK\"This is an excellent introduction that provides just the right depth and is well applied to practice. Although not flashy it is clearly laid out.\" David Shaw, Buckinghamshire New University, UK\"I've only just skimmed this book but will be putting in on my reading list for next year and will recommend to undergraduate students who start this module next week.
