New book first to link theory, practice for future social workers

Social workers apply a diverse range of theories that examine social, cultural, political, ecological and psychological aspects of human behavior to their everyday work in helping people. Yet, when receiving their professional education, there are virtually no classes or books that bring the two together. University of Kansas social welfare professors have authored “Human Behavior Theory for Social Work Practice,” one of the first to directly link human behavior theories to a range of practice-based case examples spanning individual, family, community and global social work practice.
