Omschrijving
Human Behavior in the Social Environment from an African-American Perspective, Second Edition is an updating of the classic text that presents leading black scholars discussing complex human behavior problems faced by African-Americans in today's society. This new edition provides fresh theories and the latest practical interventions not in the first edition that show, for example, how to enhance a client's coping strategies and resilience by focusing on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.
