Its major new theme, sustainability, emerges as a key characteristic of contemporary practice. What is sustainable social work? What are the characteristics of a sustainable community? How is the present exploitation of environmental resources unsustainable for future generations? Following the greatest economic upheaval since the Great Depression, how can we envision a sustainable economy that will benefit all the people, not only the wealthy few?Human behavior results from biological, psychological, socioeconomic, and cultural forces, but the mental health field has placed the most emphasis on intrapsychic factors to the near exclusion of socioeconomic and cultural considerations.
