Unique to Human Behavior and the Social Environment, Macro Level is the focus on the natural as well as physical environment in the study of human behavior and use of a trauma-informed model in the study of social service organizations. This is the only social work text to include a chapter on findings from social psychology relevant to human behavior.

A timely revision in this global age, Human Behavior and the Social Environment, Macro Level develops a sophisticated and original view of the cultural, global, spiritual, and natural worlds that people inhabit, and explores the impact of these worlds on human behavior. An ecosystems/sustainability framework emerges as a key characteristic of contemporary practice. What is sustainable social work? What are the characteristics of a sustainable community? How
is the present exploitation of environmental resources unsustainable for future generations? In accordance with the 2015 Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) standards, attention is paid to environmental justice as well as diversity and difference.
