The Myth of Clinical Judgement.
Biklen, Douglas
Journal of Social Issues, v44 n1 p127-40 Spr 1988
Professions that provide services to people with disabilities typically do so from a clinical perspective. Yet in areas such as education and residential policy, clinical judgment is limited by the influences of nonclinical forces, such as economics, bureaucratic exigency, politics, service traditions, and societal prejudice.
