Discussion: Theories of Human Development Across the Life Span

As a social worker, you will never have the privilege of seeing a client grow and evolve over the entire length of their life. Even if you do work with a client for a long time, you won’t witness their evolution firsthand; rather, the client will convey to you what they are experiencing. For the purposes of the HBSE I and II courses, though, you have gotten this front-row seat into someone else’s life. You have seen Ray navigate hardship in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, and now later adulthood. You have seen him find a sense of joy and meaning.

Through Ray’s case, you can refine your application of human development theories in the context of an aging client who has lived a full life. For this Discussion, you do just that, selecting a theory and examining how it illuminates Ray’s life.

To Prepare:

Respond to two colleagues who identified different theories than you did. Explain whether you agree with the application to Ray’s case and whether you would apply the theory to your social work practice. Provide support for your position.

Use the Learning Resources to support your posts. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list.
