"Social Environments and Human Behavior focuses on the influence and interaction of groups, communities, organizations, and social movements in the lives of all individuals. The text brings together theoretical information with practice application, highlighting the historical foundations of social work in larger settings, and providing students the opportunity to make broader curricular connections. Each unit contains an overview of theoretical materials on groups, organizations, and communities followed by three selected readings: the first is a classic article by one of the pioneers of the field, the second reading is a literary or artistic selection that allows students to make personal and creative connections, and the third is a comprehensive decision case that gives readers an opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge and illustrates the relationship between HBSE, practice, policy and research. This approach combines the best features of both a textbook and a reader, appealing to multiple learning styles and providing instructors maximum flexibility"

"Those who choose to be consulting psychologists aim to make a difference in organizations and in the lives of the individuals and groups within them. In this book, Rodney L. Lowman translates theory and research into an accessible overview that will familiarize readers from multiple disciplines with this important work. Lowman reviews how consultation helps clients at three levels: Individual, group, and organizational. Using case examples, he illustrates issues that can arise at each level and describes appropriate tools for assessment and intervention. Readers will learn how consultants screen potential job candidates; coach individuals to adapt to new roles and manage relationships with colleagues; evaluate and improve work group dynamics, such as communication patterns; and work with different organizational cultures to enhance system-wide processes and structures. Leadership is given special focus as a complex topic that spans all three levels of expertise. Multiculturalism and internationalism are also stressed as competencies that consulting psychologists must possess in our increasingly globalized society"
