Understanding the way in which individuals develop before birth, as babies, children and adolescents through to young and older adulthood towards death is an important part of any social work role. Being able to skilfully apply this understanding in real life practice situations is even more important, as purposeful translations of human development are at the heart of effective professional practice.

 

Introducing students to emotional, psychological and social developmental theories of human growth before exploring in detail how these theories can be incorporated into practice, this book will ensure students have all the tools they need to not only understand but critically appraise and apply psychosocial theories early on in training and whilst on placement. With the help of real world case studies, summaries and tips for further study, it will show students how life course theories inter-relate and how they can make appropriate, purposeful translations of theory into skilled, professional practice.

This book was devised with a single intention: for people to understandhow the brain works.Society, along with evolution, teaches us to rely mainly on the longtermmemory area of the brain, yet this can be the underlying cause ofmany mental and physical problems.

Hopefully it might encourage you to question how you use your ownbrain and challenge you to think in a very different way.Whilst there are many books written by so-called experts about thephysiology and function of the brain, their authors rarely have personalinsight into how seemingly normal brain activity can impact negativelyon overall wellbeing, or how the brain can be re-trained with amazingconsequential benefi ts to health.
