Ideology and Clinical Practice
The scope· inherent in working toward the kind of goals represented by the theorists just cited may seem far too broad and too dauntingly complex.to be undertaken in any writers’ lifetimes. Alienation is an extensive topic, but it should be emphasized that alienation thought is already well developed, and any undertaking to enhance rather than reformulate the thinking can lead to greater understanding of the way this thinking can inform clinical practices. Furthermore, problems of analytic magnitude should not be conflated with problems of making a compendious analysis. There is nothing innate in large scope topics to justify presumption that their coherent investigation depends upon breaking them into parts for detailed examination.
