In addition, these theories are used to understand the life stages of infancy, childhood, and adolescence. 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 life stage, both normal development and ways in which development becomes skewed are presented. Issues of vulnerability particularly appropriate for each 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 homosexual population. Prerequisites: SW 107 and PSY 105.
