Perspectives On Video Self-Confrontation, Linda P. Rouse
Perspectives On Video Self-Confrontation, Linda P. Rouse
Clinical Sociology Review
Video self-confrontation has been widely used for training and therapeutic interventions. Clients are videotaped then given an opportunity to view themselves via playback Early reviews of video self-confrontation studies noted the absence of an explicit, well developed theoretical rationale for application and evaluation of video playback techniques. This article discusses five theoretical perspectives on video self-confrontation, information processing; causal attribution, psychodynamic; objective self-awareness/self-discrepancies; and Mead's notion of self. Each calls attention to unique elements of video self-confrontation, with implications for clinical practice. Additionally, new questions raised by symbolic interactionism about the social nature of the experience of self-confrontation by video …

Providing Culturally Sensitive Services To Latino Clients: A Case Study Of A Non-Profit Organization, Darlene L. Piña
Clinical Sociology Review
This paper describes an evaluation of a non-profit human service organization's attempts to provide culturally sensitive services.

These problems indicate that culturally sensitive service requires that culturally compatible services be incorporated in an …
"Mental Pictures And Emotional Intimacy: A Theoretical Explanation For The Sexual Sadistic Serial Murder's Heterosexual Lifestyle", John E. Holman
"Mental Pictures And Emotional Intimacy: A Theoretical Explanation For The Sexual Sadistic Serial Murder's Heterosexual Lifestyle", John E. Holman
Clinical Sociology Review
This paper develops a theoretical explanation for the sexual sadistic serial murderer's heterosexual lifestyle. The theoretical formulation developed draws upon Glasser's (1984) control theory and Marshal's (1989) general theory of sexual offending. It synthesizes Glasser's propositions around idealized life style and mental pictures and Marshal's propositions on intimacy. The theoretical formulation developed focuses on the mental and behavioral contradictions implicit in the life of this type of offender. The paper concludes by comparing these lifestyles to those of homosexuals in similar heterosexual lifestyles.
