Handbook of Clinical Sociology

Clinical sociology, in its broadest sense, is the application of a sociological perspective to facilitate change. Its practitioners are primarily change agents rather than scholars or researchers, and work with a client, be that an individual, family, group, organization, or community. The contributors to this volume are themselves actively engaged in the application of sociological knowledge, methods, and theory to active intervention. Their contributions draw heavily on their own work. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
