Psychology, Human Growth and Development for Social Work: A Comprehensive Guide (PDF eBook)

Description

An engaging and accessible introduction to understanding human behaviour and development from a psychological perspective. Written by a psychologist with extensive teaching experience, it offers a clear and systematic exploration of psychological concepts and research, and discussion of their relevance for social work practice. The psychological framework provides thematic coherence for a uniquely wide range of material, from brain development to communication skills, psychiatric diagnoses to forms of discrimination. With a logical and intuitive structure, it's perfect for Human Growth and Development modules and other Social Work modules with psychological content, enabling students to see how different elements of theory and research connect together for practical application.
