The connection is further complicated when considering how the formerly incarcerated integrate back into society after incarceration. This article is an engaged scholarship that utilizes clinical sociology to understand the role of religious redemption and criminal rehabilitation. The article specifically utilizes elements of symbolic interactionism to explore how identity, religious conversion, and community impact ex-felons. The author argues that religious redemption is essential for the formerly incarcerated because it allows them to replace their criminal identity with a new one and reinterpret previous mistakes into their life narrative. The article ends with action steps that can be put into practice by religious organizations, nonprofits, and governmental agencies.","PeriodicalId":472358,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Sociology Review","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139003772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explains what these court appointed representatives provide the court, their qualifications, and how they can advocate for the best interests of children in divorce, custody, shared-time, and other caregiving situations. Often decisions are made by judges with a adult-focused legal lens. Clinical sociologists have a background in both macro and micro issues that impact the wellbeing of children. They are able to contribute and integrate their scholarly and practical knowledge to make better informed decisions that the court can use. Common challenges that Guardian ad Litem face are identified, with insights on how clinical sociological expertise can overcome them.","PeriodicalId":472358,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Sociology Review","volume":"46 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we grappled with the Covid-19 epidemic the world saw massive disruptions in how and where we work, teach, learn and socialize. As moves to continue the social via virtual platforms increased as a result of Covid-19 restrictions we saw disruptions in everyday social meaning making. This article via reflections from personal observation and conversations with colleagues engages with the idea of voice recognition as an important social cue in virtual interactions. The article shows how taken for granted social markers of engagement can be rendered useless in context were the only connector to the people you are interacting with is their voice. The article challenges us to engage with the following questions: What impacts does the move to virtuality have on social engagements that allow us to humanize each other? What can we do to maintain the important social cues important for meaning making in context of teaching, counseling, consultation as we see many of these roles move to the virtual space? \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":472358,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Sociology Review","volume":"206 S635","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the wake of an acute shortage of medical doctors, clinical officers perform tasks conventionally designated for medical doctors. This paper seeks to explain how the implementation of some functional reviews in the health sector, exacerbated occupational stress (OS) and burnout among clinical officers at public hospitals in Malawi. The study adopted a qualitative research design with a case study as a research strategy. The study was conducted at four district hospitals and one central hospital, all of which are state-owned in Malawi. The paper argues that the implementation of some functional reviews, is a psychosocial hazard among clinical officers at public hospitals. The paper demonstrates that the implementation of some functional reviews, has aggravated occupational stress and burnout among clinical officers at public hospitals. The paper concludes that the implementation of some functional reviews, has perpetuated interprofessional conflicts between clinical officers and medical doctors; forms of occupational violence by doctors against clinical officers; loss of power and an identity crisis among clinical officers. The paper, therefore, argues that interprofessional conflicts, occupational violence, loss of power and identity crisis were ultimately drivers of occupational stress and burnout among clinical officers. Finally, the paper recommends that a psychosocial risk assessment, should be conducted to avoid or minimise the risks of occupational stress and burnout among clinical officers that are posed by the implementation of functional reviews in the health sector. \u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":472358,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Sociology Review","volume":"14 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139004125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
