Social work has historically used the idea of person-in-environment to
develop a multidimensional understanding of human behavior. The idea that
human behavior is multidimensional has become popular with most social
and behavioral science disciplines. Recently, we have recognized the need
to add the aspect of time to the person–environment construct, to capture the
dynamic, changing nature of person-in-environment.
The purpose of this book is to help you to breathe life into the abstract
idea of person-in-environment. As I did in the first four editions, I identify
relevant dimensions of both person and environment, and my colleagues and
I present up-to-date reports on theory and research about each of these
dimensions. All the while, we encourage you to link the micro world of
personal experience with the macro world of social trends—to recognize
the unity of person and environment. We help you make this connection by
showing how several of the same theories have been used to understand
dimensions of both person and environment.
