Diversity, Oppression, and Social Functioning: Person-In-Environment Assessment and Intervention - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This diversity practice text teaches students how to work with a broad range of diverse populations, using the “Person-In-Environment” (PIE) theoretical framework.

This text can be used in diversity practice courses, courses on working with oppressed populations, and other practice courses (such as advanced practice) that focus on diversity issues.

The diverse populations presented in the text are described within an ecological, strengths perspective. The authors' thesis is that, in order to work effectively with diverse populations, it is necessary to take into consideration the complex dynamics of social functioning and social oppression. The “Person-In-Environment” theoretical framework provides a basis for analysis of the social, economic, and political reality of these diverse populations. The text presents an affirmative practice approach, and builds on the available diversity practice literature.
