Product Description
Product Description
Unlike other types of qualitative research, the clinical perspective in field research does not aim to be impartial and uninvolved. The clinician is usually a consultant brought in specifically to effect change in an organization, and therefore works under a very different set of technical and ethical restraints. Edgar Schein succinctly outlines the clinical perspective in field research, how it differs from other types of qualitative research and its inherent rewards and difficulties.

The consultant as a source of helpful help..., Nov 20 2009
By Abiel Guerra Vivero "Abiel Guerra" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Clinical Perspective in Fieldwork (Paperback)
In this book Schein make his point regarding two very different roles, that, in practice, very often become merged and mixed: the role of the ethnographer as an "invisible" recorder of the nature of a given culture or organization, where he is expected to be unobtrusive and not affecting the daily activities in the place studied.At the other hand, the clinical perspective, stemming from action research, is a very different role: the clinician is not impartial nor uninvolved. The clinician is usually a consultant brought in specifically to effect change in an organization, but in order to change it he needs to gain trust of members of that organization, and most of all, be helpful.

Great booklet especially for consultants, May 10 2008
By G. de Groot - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Clinical Perspective in Fieldwork (Paperback)
In this small booklet makes Schein his first plea for the clinical perspective, later called clinical inquiry/research. He states that consultants are in the best position to do organizational research because the clients invite them to help solving organizational problems. Consultants will gather more relevant data of what is really going in the power centres of organizations than any ethnograph. His plea is today as relevant as it was 20 years ago and reading this book will initate the reader in the 'secrets' of clinical inquiry/research.
