Person in situation, (Pincus and Minahan 1973)
Person in social environment, (Miley, O’Melia, and DuBois 2004)
Immediate and distant environment, (Sheafor and Horejsi 2006)
All training materials offered for conducting person-in-environment
assessments do not include physical environment (Garvin &
Seabury, 1997; Compton, Galaway, & Cournoyer, 2005; Gilgun,
2005; Poulin, 2005; Sheafor & Horejsi, 2006)
Threats of natural world and associated quality of human life fall in
the scope of environmentalism but not social work (Zastrow 2004)
logical consequence: perceiving environment as social environment:
social environment: social workers concerned
natural environment: tackle by environmentalist, scientist

• an interdisciplinary body of social science, includes theories of
environment, justice, law and governance, policy and planning,
development, sustainability, and political ecology

distribution of environmental harms and benefits

as air, water and soil pollution, excess noise and illegally taking flora
and fauna

Coates (2003) put things very clearly:
“Social work has the choice of continuing to
support a self-defeating social order or
recreating itself to work toward a just and
sustainable society.”
