Dramaturgical Analysis Of Military Death Notification, Russell J. Buenteo, C. Allen Haney
Dramaturgical Analysis Of Military Death Notification, Russell J. Buenteo, C. Allen Haney
Clinical Sociology Review
The process of military death notification is designed to explain the interactions between next-of-kin notifiers (NOKN) and the people that are being notified. This paper focuses upon a dramaturgical analysis of the notification process. Specifically, the use of props and the performances of the actors within this setting will be discussed in hopes of explaining the organizational constraints placed upon the notifiers, and to explain the patterned expectations and anticipations of the notifiers.
The Influence Of Religion On The Chicago School Of Sociology, Luigi Tomasi
The Influence Of Religion On The Chicago School Of Sociology, Luigi Tomasi
Clinical Sociology Review
This paper concerns the influence of religion on the Chicago School of Sociology. After showing the marginal importance that religion had in early sociological American studies, this article takes issue with those interpretations that do not acknowledge that the Chicago School remained interested in the topic of religion even after it had freed itself of theological influence in order to concentrate more on solving the problems in America at that time. It is the author's opinion that the Chicago School promoted religious research not only during the time of Albion W. Small and Charles R. Henderson when theological interest was …
An Empirical Application Of Interprofessional Consensus, Stephanie Amedo Marquez, John Gartrell
An Empirical Application Of Interprofessional Consensus, Stephanie Amedo Marquez, John Gartrell
Clinical Sociology Review
Determining the veracity of increasing incidents of child abuse presents a problem to clinical sociologists as well as other agency professionals, and subsequently to studies which rely on these determinations for sample selection. This paper tests the theory of interprofessional consensus underlying child abuse reports in records from a hospital population. The average agreement (interpersonal consensus) of ten different professional reports is high, estimated by correlation analysis. Factor analysis reveals two separate dimensions underlying professional reports; one factor separates the social agency determinations from the legal agencies. Despite the clustering of agencies into separate dimensions, determinants of substantiation do not …

The Subjective Dimension Of A Bipolar Family Education/Support Group: A Sociology Of Emotions Approach, Beverley A. Cuthbertson-Johnson, Richard J. Gagan
Clinical Sociology Review
This article reports on the predominant emotions experienced by members of an education/support group for the relatives and partners of individuals with bipolar manic-depression. Identified are the specific types of emotions experienced as well as the situational, definitional, and behavioral frameworks in which particular emotions or combinations of emotions were generated, experienced, interpreted, expressed, and managed. Special attention is focused on emotional uncertainty, mixed and fluctuating emotions, the erosion of positive by negative emotions, and emotional stalemates. In addition, the personal and social consequences of members' adopting particular emotion management roles are examined. Finally, the article outlines the education/ support …
Successful Facilitation Of A Children's Support Group When Conditions Are Less Than Optimal, Sarah Brabant
Successful Facilitation Of A Children's Support Group When Conditions Are Less Than Optimal, Sarah Brabant
Clinical Sociology Review
This paper describes a sibling support group that has flourished for over 3 years. The setting provides little more than a table and chairs. Storage space for supplies is limited to one drawer in a file cabinet. The children range from three to twenty years in age. Some of the participants attend only one meeting; others attend regularly. Despite the range in ages, lack of group stability, limited equipment and restricted setting, the program works. Basic assumptions, goals, techniques, and resources are presented and underlying issues are discussed.
The Tranfer Of Work Experiences Into Family Life: An Introductory Study Of Workers In Self-Managed Work Teams, Leslie Stanley-Stevens, Dale E. Yeatts, Mary Thibodeaux
The Tranfer Of Work Experiences Into Family Life: An Introductory Study Of Workers In Self-Managed Work Teams, Leslie Stanley-Stevens, Dale E. Yeatts, Mary Thibodeaux
Clinical Sociology Review
By using survey data from a study currently taking place at a Boeing facility, this research explores the effects that work skills have on people's family lives. The responses were overwhelmingly positive. Past studies emphasizing the importance of a supportive supervisor and positive relationships with family were supported as was the concept of "isomorphism" or similarity of behavior patterning at work and at home. Past studies regarding gender differences were not supported.
The Sociologist As Expert Witness, Jean H. Thoresen
The Sociologist As Expert Witness, Jean H. Thoresen
Clinical Sociology Review
The role of the expert witness in court proceedings is an important part of the American judicial system. Sociologists can make substantial contributions to the way in which the law as an institution evolves if they increase their availability and participation in legal proceedings. One way to do this is as an expert witness. In court, expert witnesses can do what no other witnesses can do: they may offer opinions and conclusions based solely on their professional training and expertise. This provides them with a special role and opportunity to define areas of the law, such as what constitutes a …
Courtroom Observation And Applied Litigation Research: A Case History Of Jury Decision Making, Harvey A. Moore, Jennifer Friedman
Courtroom Observation And Applied Litigation Research: A Case History Of Jury Decision Making, Harvey A. Moore, Jennifer Friedman
Clinical Sociology Review
Quantitative research has dominated applied litigation research, but it seems to lack the flexibility needed to link pretrial research to ongoing courtroom events. Participant observation is a methodology which seems more suitable for studying the dynamic environment of a trial. A 6-day civil trial is used to evaluate participant observation reports against pretrial survey analysis and trial simulations. The objective is to show how different methodological approaches converge in the frame of reference which reflects the actual verdict reached in trial.
An Exercise In Gender: The Bem Sex Role Inventory In The Classroom, Martin A. Monto
An Exercise In Gender: The Bem Sex Role Inventory In The Classroom, Martin A. Monto
Clinical Sociology Review
This manuscript describes a classroom exercise in which students leam about aspects of their own sex role orientation by completing the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI). The exercise represents one way in which the themes of clinical sociology can contribute to the teaching of other sociology courses. Specifically, the exercise is 1) interventionist, 2) multidisciplinary, 3) humane, and 4) holistic. The exercise underscores the potential for alternative conceptions of gender without reinforcing traditional stereotypes. This manuscript introduces the Bem Sex Role Inventory, describes its administration in the classroom, provides ideas for incorporating the exercise into sociology courses, and provides an …
The Citicorp Interactive Work Ethic Game: Sociological Practice Use In The Classroom, Harry Cohen
The Citicorp Interactive Work Ethic Game: Sociological Practice Use In The Classroom, Harry Cohen
Clinical Sociology Review
Citicorp has developed an employee training unit in a game format on the subject of ethics. Citicorp provided a game and its manuals for use with students in sociology classes taught by the author. This paper describes the game and its purposes, subjects covered in the game and how it was developed and validated, as well as sociological practice uses in the university classroom. An alleged major ethical problem at Citicorp is discussed. Some limitations of teaching ethical thinking when psychodynamic and social barriers stand in the way of ethical action are discussed in this paper, and in the classroom, …

Government Sponsored Health Care: A Cluster Profile Of Supporters And Nonsupporters, Bonnie L. Lewis, F. Dale Parent
Government Sponsored Health Care: A Cluster Profile Of Supporters And Nonsupporters, Bonnie L. Lewis, F. Dale Parent
Clinical Sociology Review
While there has been a great deal of information revealing the public's dissatisfaction with our current health care system, there is little detailed analysis of these attitudes, and of the individuals who are most likely to support or reject such a system. This becomes more and more important as health policy debates shift toward a questioning of the viability of the current health care system and possible alterations to that system. In this paper we use cluster analytic methods on data collected from a public opinion survey of Louisiana residents to develop profiles of those people who support and who …
