| Abstract |
The conceptual foundations of social learning theory, respondent conditioning, operant conditioning, & observational learning are empirically supported approaches to understanding normative human development & the etiology of psychosocial problems. The principles of social learning theory are consistent with the currently popular ecosystems framework in social work practice. A thorough integration of social learning theory with the ecosystems model will substantially reduce the shortcomings of the latter, ie, its lack of a testable theoretical framework & prescriptive guidelines for social work assessment & intervention. 2 Tables, 84 References.
