- Title
SOCIAL ANALYSIS IN THE CLINICAL SETTING.
- Authors
Jones, Dorothy M.
- Abstract
This essay examines the use of social analysis in clinical practice. Although the author is a psychoanalytically-oriented clinician, she advances the view of the self as both psychologically and socially constituted. When applied to therapy this concept of self leads to presenting a picture of reality that includes both social dynamics and psychodynamics. Based on clinical case material, the author demonstrates how social analysis contributes to psycho-analysis in changing clients' self-concept and social identity. In addition, she identified conditions under which social analysis advances or retards the healing process.
