Clinical Applications of Sociology in Health Care

Barry Glassner

Department of Sociology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York 13210.

Prospects and problems for clinical applications of sociology in health care are proposed. The author suggests areas in which sociological insights and techniques are notably and uniquely beneficial for clinical practice. Special emphases are upon the symbolic dimensions of illness, locating illness processes in social structures, and viewing persons as members of groups. The paper concludes with a critical appraisal of clinical sociology at its current level of development. The basic goal is to indicate an agenda for sociologists working in health care.
