This book is a most welcome addition to the growing literature on
sociological practice. There isa wealthofwisdomandexperience
reflected in thesechaptersas well as a wide variety ofexamples of
sociology in action. Clinical sociology, in its broadest sense, is
the application of a sociological perspectivetofacilitatechange.
Itspractitionersareprimarilychangeagentsrather than scholars or
researchers, and work with a client, be that an individual, family,
group, organization, or community. The reappearance and
growthofclinical sociology during the past decade is

1970soutofmyangerand frustration-first as a graduate studentand
then as a professor-thatsociologists, unlike their psychological
brethren, did not practice what they preached. Persons

those fewsociolo gists who did kept it a secret. The
ClinicalSociologyAssociation, which I cofounded in 1978, had

Association meetings in New York in 1976. I hadjust concluded four

Isawsociologygivingup by default a role in change efforts that
necessitate the consideration of social systems.Socialworkers,
psychologists, politicalscientists, gerontologists, criminolo
gists, marriage and family counselors, to name a few, have eagerly
gone where we had failed to tread. Practitioners in these fields,
as social systems change agents, have carved a niche, often
protecting themselves with licensing laws and other restrictions
that make entry by sociologists difficult. Thus we are latecomers
in a crowded field."
