Widener University-Delaware Campus

Subject:

Description:

This is the second course of a two-semester sequence on human behavior and the social environment. The course is designed to present students with a multiple perspective of human development that focuses on adulthood (early, middle, late, and very late adulthood) and issues of death and dying. Biological, psychological, and social/environmental factors that influence and shape individual and family stability and change are considered, as they inform the social worker in assessing the situation and assisting clients with decision making and problem solving. At each adult life stage, both normal development and ways in which development becomes skewed are presented. Issues of vulnerability particularly appropriate for each adult life stage are also considered, with attention to ethnic, racial, and gender issues. Attention is also given to special populations, such as oppressed groups, women, and the gay/lesbian population. Prerequisites: SW 107, 206, and PSY 105.
