Abstract

Human Behavior and the Social Environment is a social work course that describes developmental theories throughout the lifespan. This course requires students to reflect upon their own theories of human development. In this article the author reflects upon her experiences as a student and teacher of Human Behavior and the Social Environment. The role of self-disclosure is discussed and the author shares several of her own poems that illustrate her own view of lifespan development and theory.
