Theories are important because they guide our human services practice. Theories enable us to see things from new angles and different perspectives. They help us to understand our social environment and explain behavior. Theories provide us a framework or lens through which we can view social problems.
For this assignment, you will select two human services theories that relate to your case study created. The theories selected should help to understand the problem described in your case study.
Use your Neukrug textbook and journal articles to analyze how a human services professional would use each theory in addressing the community problem. Evaluate the theories and provide a rationale for which theory you believe would be the best fit for addressing the community problem in your case study.
Your paper should have the following headings. Use the MEAL plan to develop each section.
Introduction.
