Notes On The History Of Clinical Sociology At Yale, Judith B. Gordon

Clinical Sociology Review

This article recounts one version of the attempt to create a department of clinical sociology in the Medical School of Yale University in the late 1920s. The theoretical perspective of Alfred Schutz is used to turn attention to the linkages of generations of sociologists reflected in the construction of our history as told to young sociologists by their elders. Historical documents and the recollections of John Dollard are used to recount the history of attempts to develop support for the Institute of Human Relations, including a department of clinical sociology at Yale Medical School. The idea was supported by Dean …

A Comparative Case Method For "Local Molar" Program Evaluation And Adjustment, Mark Van De Vall

Clinical Sociology Review

In program monitoring, social policy researchers often use multiple case methods of analysis, comparing cases with low and high impact. In view of the low "observer" reliability of case analysis, a standard analytical approach is recommended. The article discusses three conceptual models of program implementation that provide valid standardization of program evaluation and adjustment.

Anger Among Prospective Adoptive Parents: Structural Determinants And Management Strategies, Kerry Daly

Clinical Sociology Review

This paper focuses on anger experienced by prospective adoptive parents as they go through infertility and the formal adoption process. Qualitative interviews were done with seventy-four infertile couples who were at various stages in their consideration of adoption. Using a sociology of emotions perspective, I examine the source of their anger by focusing on the structural power imbalance between infertile couples and the physicians and adoption agency personnel to whom they turn for help in becoming parents. I analyze the way that this power unbalance constrains their anger and examine the way it is managed according to the "feeling rules" …

Redemptive Organizations And The Politics Of Hope, Richard A. Couto

Clinical Sociology Review

The politics of hope of this article is rooted in the local leadership of low income, repressed communities. One central element of the politics of hope is redemptive organizations. These organizations are a variant of voluntary associations that are distinguished by their explicitly political purpose of social transformation and concomitant requirement of personal sacrifice and transformation. This article specifies the internal characteristics of redemptive organizations and their role in change over time. The history of four rural, southern, low-income, and predominantly black communities offer numerous instances of redemptive organizations that deal with educational, economic, and political conditions These organizations link …

Clinical Implications Of Victimological Theory, Richard D. Knudten

Clinical Sociology Review

Although victimology as a field is in its infancy and is undergoing definition, several theories of victimization that have implications for clinical practice have already been published. Several are specific and segmented, but one theory relates victimization to its broader cultural, social organizational-institutional, interactional and personality contexts Richard A. Ball presents a "Theory of the Victimological Cycle," while the late Michael J Hindelang, Michael Gottfredson, and James Garofalo discuss "A Theory of Personal Criminal Victimization," modified in 1987 by James Garofalo. Against this backdrop, Richard D. Knudten offers insight into his "Dynamic Theory of Victimization 1 2." After their characteristics …

The Therapeutic Community In A Psychiatric Facility: Does Clinical Sociology Have A Place?, Beverly Ann Cuthbertson

Clinical Sociology Review

Clinical sociologists can play an important role in understanding and treating psychiatric disorders They can provide insight into the linguistic and emotional processes that form social psychological pathways to disorders; they can illuminate the sociocultural contexts from which certain disorders emerge and on which they have an impact; and they can facilitate individual and social change A permanent place for clinical sociology in the therapeutic community of a psychiatric facility will not be created, however, without the interdisciplinary adoption of a unifying conceptual framework in which biological, psychological, and sociological factors are defined as of potentially equal importance in the …

Reducing Adolescent Drug Abuse: Sociological Strategies For Community Practice, W. David Watts

Clinical Sociology Review

Strategies for community-based sociological practice are discussed. The role of the sociologist in helping communities to recognize a social problem is analyzed in the context of social construction of reality theory. Once a community accepts that it has a problem with adolescent drug abuse, control and peer association theories can guide sociologists who wish to join with community leaders to combat drug abuse. By strengthening bonds among community organizations, parents, and other groups, the community tolerance for drug abuse is reduced and support for peer prevention is built.

Graduates were asked to report on several aspects of their occupations (use of sociology, level of authority, and income being the most important) They also were asked to comment on which courses they found most useful, which courses they wished they had taken, and what advice they had for current …

Triadic Analysis: A Conceptual Tool For Clinical Sociologists, C. Margaret Hall

Clinical Sociology Review

This paper explores the utility of triadic analysis as a conceptual tool for clinical sociologists. Departing from earlier research on patterns of interaction, triads are emphasized over dyads as the structural basis of both micro- and macro-processes, and interdependency is recognized as a decisive influence in the formation and dynamics of triads.

Clinical examples and applications of triadic analysis suggest that stress and conflict within a dyad prompt its members to seek out a third party to neutralize the tension. A third party functions to stabilize the dyad, in some cases as participant in a new dyadic coalition within the …
