MaryRichmond was the mother of social casework and the pioneer of the idea that a person's problems are influenced by their environment in the early 20th century.

Social workers should look at not just the mental health of the person, but their environment as well, according to the book Social Diagnosis'.Social workers should take on more of a macro approach instead of just focusing on individuals.The importance of advocating for social change, empowering social workers to enter the political, legal and governmental worlds in creating, advocating, and defending social programs was emphasized by her.

The PIE theory helps the individual and society as a whole.The PIE theory has a number of roles.

A case scenario is being looked at.Sarah is a school social worker.Annie is a 5-year-old who is displaying aggressive behaviors such as biting and hitting other kids at recess.Annie is resistant to Sarah's questions and has an angry disposition.Annie's teacher is having a difficult time controlling and disciplining Annie in the classroom, as Annie often gets out of her seat, interrupt her teacher, and then refuses to do classwork.Sarah looked at Annie's multiple environmental influences.

Sarah asked Annie about her home life, her parents, the neighborhood she lives in, and if her family attends a religious organization.Is she involved in any after-school programs, extracurricular activities, or camps?She wants to know if Annie has influential people in her life besides her parents.She is getting a bigger picture of Annie's life to figure out why she is struggling in school.

Annie is one of six children in a family that is on welfare.Her mother has a disease that causes her to be in pain most of the day.Annie's father is in jail.Annie and her siblings have lots of things to do.The interaction that she has with her mother and aunt is not always positive.Annie eats junk food when she goes to bed.On a daily basis, her mother 'whops' her.

The main concern here is home life.Annie is not able to adhere to the structured school environment because of the lack of structure.Lack of sleep or nutrition can cause anger and attention issues.She chooses violence on the playground because she is exposed to violence each day.

The PIE theory was used to evaluate Annie's problem.She may use a community services family therapist and case manager to help Annie's family.Annie and her family may be helped by social programs.

The person in environment, or PIE theory, is a popular social work concept that states that a person's problems and issues can be understood by their environment.These can be religious, community, educational, familial, home, neighborhood, occupational, political, and socio-economical aspects of the environment.MaryRichmond was the pioneer of PIE theory.
