Abstract

This paper has three foci. First, it examines the developing area of clinical sociology. Second, it demonstrates how, in reality, deviants in general and drug addicts in particular should be treated using theories of deviance and symbolic interactionism. The treatment itself is based on group experiences and is geared towards coping with problems associated with social position and identity. Third, an evaluation of the treatment is provided.
