Feedback: Consistent with social work's "person-in-environment" perspective, studies that highlight the "power of context," the "power of place," and the "power of the social" encourage us to collaborate with others in our pursuit of social change and community well-being. Our consistent use of a person-in-environment perspective, with strong emphasis on the environment, helps social workers avoid the seductive trap of explaining social problems by referencing the individual characteristics or traits of people directly affected by those problems—a phenomenon called blaming the victim (Ryan, 1971, 1976; Savani, Stephens, & Markus, 2011; Valor-Segura, Exposito, & Moya, 2011; Van Prooijen & Van den Bos, 2009).
