The History of Clinical Sociology: Individuals, Organizations, Programs and Credentials

Clinical sociology has developed in many countries. This session will cover research about the development of the field by focusing on the activities of academics and other practitioners who can be or have been identified as important clinical sociologists. Other topics of interest could be the history of clinical sociology organizations, clinical sociology tracks or programs, and the development of credentials (e.g., certification, accreditation) in one or more countries. We also are interested in discussing publication and funding possibilities for historical work about the field.
