WEEEK 8 discussion 2
Human behavior
SOCW-6200-1 Human Behavior -Soc Env I-Summer 2025
Application of HBSE to Engagement, Assessment, and Intervention
Throughout the course, you have been following Ray as he develops biologically, psychologically, and socially, as he makes decisions, and as his social environment changes over time. Now imagine Ray as your client. How would knowledge of HBSE inform his case?
Social workers are expected to apply HBSE, person‐in environment, and other multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks during the stages of engagement, assessment, and intervention when practicing in the field. This Discussion aims to help you develop your critical thought related to these practice behaviors—and to get you started on your biopsychosocial assessment, due in Week 10.
For this Discussion, you begin exploring Ray’s case by considering how HBSE applies when engaging, assessing, and intervening with Ray.
