The Significance of Psychiatric Symptomatology for Social Adaptation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
The social adjustment of individuals is studied from different viewpoints by psychiatrists and sociologists. The psychiatrist is concerned with the malfunctioning personality (and with normal function toward which patients must be assisted); the sociologist is concerned with the functioning social system. The basic reference of both disciplines is to the individual and the individual's adaptation in his social group.
