商品描述

Containing a novel compilation of theoretical and methodological approaches, this textbook lays out the most relevant foundations of clinical sociology. Relying heavily on well-recognized medical models and concepts to help communicate ideas (e.g. treatment, diagnosis, clinical, cure), the methods of social diagnosis and social therapy presented in this book will help in better and socially informed protection of vulnerable individuals and citizens as well as an informed design of protection policies for macro, mezzo and micro levels of society.

The book explains that many problems, perceived as economic, psychological-individual, and political, are rooted in social functions and structures of the wider society, and how these social structures and functions interact in everyday life. Through the application of the theoretical and methodological approaches in case studies on recent issues, such as the Covid pandemic, or the Hurricane Katrina disaster, the book will allow readers to easily cope with the complexity of clinical sociology and to develop clinical competencies and pertinent training.

This renders the book not only highly useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of clinical and applied sociology but also for the preparation of courses for theoretically informed practitioners who are keen to work by defining learning objectives and learning paths.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書匯集了理論和方法論的新穎組合,介紹了臨床社會學最相關的基礎知識。該書大量借鑒了廣為認可的醫學模型和概念,以幫助傳達觀點(例如治療、診斷、臨床、治癒),並介紹了社會診斷和社會治療的方法。這些方法將有助於更好地保護弱勢個體和公民,並以社會資訊為基礎設計宏觀、中觀和微觀層面的保護政策。

該書解釋了許多被認為是經濟、心理個體和政治問題的根源實際上源於更廣泛社會的功能和結構,以及這些社會結構和功能在日常生活中的互動。通過在最近的案例研究中應用理論和方法論,例如新冠疫情或卡特里娜颶風災害,該書將使讀者能夠輕鬆應對臨床社會學的複雜性,並發展臨床能力和相關培訓。

這使得該書不僅對臨床和應用社會學的高年級本科生和研究生非常有用,也適用於為理論知識豐富的從業人員準備課程,這些從業人員渴望通過確定學習目標和學習路徑來工作。
