HBSE Major theories
MAJOR THEORIES - ANS-...
Systems theory - ANS-concepts that emphasize reciprocal relationships b/w parts of a whole.
relationships b/w individuals, groups, organizations, communities.
also influencing elements of nature: physics, chem, bio, social, etc.
Psychodynamic/
psychoanalytic theory - ANS-- how internal processes (needs, drives, emotions) motivate
human behavior.
- emotions are central to HB
-unconscious and conscious activities motivate HB
-early childhood experiences are central in persons emotions
- people may be overwhelmed by external demands

-groups and indiv. try to advance own interests
-power is unequal
-social order based on manipulation and control from dominant groups over nondominant
groups
-lack of conflict sign of exploitation
when use conflict theory? - ANS-to understand clients who are experiencing oppression
functional theory - ANS-society as a whole unit, made up of parts that work together. parts are
functions: people, groups, systems, etc
role theory - ANS-people occupying roles. peoples behavior is based on agreed norms for given
role.
behavior (social learning) theory - ANS-HB is learned through interactions in the environment.
cognitive function influences behavior. behavior has +/- reinforcements.
ecological theory - ANS--based on interaction b/w individual and environment
