Book Synopsis Practice Theory and Research by : Gert Spaargaren

Download or read book Practice Theory and Research written by Gert Spaargaren. This book was released on 2016-12-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an upsurge in scholarship concerned with theories of social practices in various fields including sociology, geography and management studies. This book provides a systematic introduction and overview of recent formulations of practice theory organised around three important themes: the importance of analysing the role of the non-human alongside the human; the reflexive nature of social science research; and the dynamics of social change. Combining a rich variety of detailed empirical research examples with discussion of the relevance of practice theories for policy and social change, this book represents an excellent sourcebook for all academic and professional researchers interested in working with practice theory.

Book Synopsis Clinical Sociology by : Puspa Melati Wan

Download or read book Clinical Sociology written by Puspa Melati Wan. This book was released on 2020-07-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lucidly written textbook covers the historical background of clinical sociology as a field and its developing trends around the world. It addresses the urgent need for sociologists to develop a clinical approach in their effort to improve society, with the emphasis that clinical sociology should complement the work of other disciplines such as clinical psychology, social work, and social anthropology. This book discusses in depth the concept of clinical sociology itself and the obligations of clinical sociologists. It fills a gap in the literature which reveals a lack of discussion and consensus on the roles and responsibilities of clinical sociologists, therefore making an important contribution to clinical sociology, and sociology, more broadly. Graduate students, practitioners and professionals in the field of clinical sociology, social work and other related disciplines will find this book very useful.

Book excerpt: In this textbook, Derek Layder offers a better understanding of the links between theory and research, and provides an analysis of the relationship between the two.

Layder concludes by providing an outline of new rules of sociological method that show how adaptive theory can be put into practice.
