Sociology is a sterile discipline unless it is applied to everyday life.
Clinical and Applied Sociology strive to assist people in using sociological principles in this way. Occasionally, I teach a course on this topic. The Sociological Practice Association, the Society for Applied Sociology , and the Sociological Practice Section of the American Sociological Association are dedicated to the development of activities and programs to increase the use of sociology in this manner. The Sociological Practice Association has a certification program which determines whether Ph.D. or M.A. prepared sociologists are qualified to operate as clinical sociologists. The Commission on Applied and Clinical Sociology , of which I am Vice Chair, accredits degree programs in applied and clinical sociology.
