Discourse in the Social Sciences: Strategies for Translating Models of Mental Illness

by Barry Glassner, Dan A. Chekki (Editor), Jonathan Moreno

Overview

The authors consider the nature of explanatory models in the social sciences in order to suggest ways in which conceptual systems differ. They suggest that, in many cases, theorists, researchers and clinicians can utilize insights from rival models in building their own models, without sacrificing the integrity of their own work.
