SW 620 presents theory as a tool for understanding human behavior and serves as a theoretical foundation for understanding human behavior and subsequent social work intervention. Specific attention is paid to incorporating theories that are evidence based and knowledge informed in being able to understand clients within the larger context of their environment. Theories related to understanding the individual's transactional relationships within families, groups, organizations and communities are emphasized as well as understanding the cultural influences and aspects of difference that impact each client.
