A course that has a person-in-environment focus, and examines the relationship among human biological, psychological, spiritual and sociocultural systems and their effect on human behavior and development. Knowledge and theory about the range of social systems in which individuals live such as families, groups, organizations, institutions and communities are also examined. The course also examines ways in which systems promote or deter people in maintaining optimal health and well-being. Focus is given to the flow between the micro, mezzo and macro dimensions of intervention. Attention is given to determinants of behavior such as age, ethnicity, race, social class, sexual orientation and physical disabilities. Second semester.
