Overview
This volume developed out of a course taught by Darling (sociology, Indiana U. of Pennsylvania) titled Clinical Sociological Theory. He attempts to apply sociological theory and methods to the entire spectrum of human service work. After exploring the background and theory of the material, he looks at how clients' world views are shaped by their locations in society in relation to gender, social class, race, and ethnicity. He also looks at methods for identifying clients' resources, concerns, and priorities. Finally, he looks at microlevel interventions with individuals and families and mesolevel interventions that attempt to change service systems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, ORSynopsis
