2. have anyone ever heard about Clinical sociology
CLINICAL SOCIOLOGY IS A FORM OF APPLIED SOCIOLOGICAL PRACTICE.
Sociological practice is intervention
using sociological
knowledge whether it is in a clinical or applied setting. It is different from pure academic sociology in which sociologists work in an academic setting such as a university.
Clinical sociology courses give students the skills to be able to work effectively with clients, teach basic counseling
skills, give knowledge that is useful for careers such as victims assisting and drug rehabilitation, and teach the student how to integrate sociological knowledge with other fields they may go into such as marriage and family therapy, and clinical social work.
Sociological perspective refers to identifying patterns in human interaction, how and why these patterns exist, the consequences of them, and how to reproduce or change the patterns. You will learn more about the sociological perspective in the chapters to follow. For now, understand that there are many ways to "look at" a situation. The sociological perspective is a distinct and powerful way to look at human interactions.
"Understanding of, intervention in and/or "enhancement of human social life" mean that applied sociologists work to advance our collective knowledge of social phenomena, solve problems (intervention), or improve social interaction. Often, applied sociologists work on all three dimensions simultaneously
