 From 1988 to 1991 Snyder and Forsyth, working with experts in
the field of social and clinical psychology, edited a handbook that--
at that time--summarized ongoing efforts in what was known as
the social-clinical interface. This interface recognized the growing
interdependency of these two fields. Up to that time social
psychologists were mostly preoccupied with the study of the
interpersonal determinants of thought, feeling, and action. Their
work was primarily theoretically driven, the behaviors they sought
to explain were the sort that occurred in everyday settings, and
they preferred to test their hypotheses through laboratory
experimentation. Clinical psychologists, in contrast, sought to
understand the causes of and cures for dysfunctional behavior.
They were concerned with developing effective treatments and
diagnostic techniques, the behaviors they puzzled over were
abnormal ones, and they preferred to test their hypotheses in field
settings.
Snyder & Forsyth's Handbook, however, explored the boundary
line separating social and clinical psychology. Social psychologists,
recognizing the potential applicability of their theories to clinical practice, began exploring sources of
dysfunction and suggesting socially based treatment strategies. Clinical psychologists, who have long‑
recognized the role of interpersonal dynamics in adjustment and therapy, began to integrate social
psychological principles and clinical practice.
The Handbook of Social and Clinical Psychology (HSCP) served as a comprehensive resource book for theorists,
researchers, and scholars working at the interface of social and clinical psychology.
This Handbook is now out of print, but chapters can be downloaded from the University of Richmond
