La intervención social como objeto de análisis clínico. Social intervention as the object of clinical analysis.

Proponemos un análisis comparado y crítico de dos enfoques teóricos de alta potencialidad para aproximarse a tal malestar: la Clínica Transdisciplinaria de la Intervención Social y la Sociología Clínica. Ambas propuestas privilegian el estudio de las intervenciones concretas y analizan la soldada trama que conforman los fenómenos sociales objetivos y la subjetividad, aportando dispositivos técnicos para tal tarea. Sin embargo, la Clínica transdisciplinaria aporta un marco teórico más pertinente para pensar las prácticas de intervención social en tanto busca producir conocimiento objetivo desde una más clara comprensión de las estructuras sociales objetivas y del hombre como un ser histórico, incompleto, contradictorio, nunca totalmente abarcable, nunca totalmente simbolizable. Social workers were detected to feel unease in relation with the inaccuracy and unrelatedness of the theoretical knowledge that serves as backgound of their intervention, whose object they consider to be roughly defined. . We propose a compared and critical analysis of two theoretical approaches very likely to account for the solution to the above-mentioned unease, namely, Transdisciplinary Clinic of Social Intervention, and Clinic Sociology. Both disciplines give priority to real interventions and analyze the tight interweaving of objective social phenomena and subjectivity, providing technical devices that are fit for the task. However, Transdisciplinary Clinic gives a theoretical framework more pertinent when approaching social intervention practices, since it pursues objective knowledge from a clear understanding of objective social structures and of man as a historical, incomplete, biased, contradictory, not fully apprehensible, and not fully symbolic being.
