Despite the enormous strides that it has made over the past decade the position of sociology within the medical school remains precarious. Its problems are compounded by a failure to develop a coherent defence of its contribution to the education of doctors. In this paper three approaches to the teaching of sociology are identified: the human relations approach; the basic science approach; and the applied science approach. The limitations of each are discussed. It is argued that they offer a distorted version of sociology and represent competing approaches to medical education. It is further argued that sociology must curb its imperialistic tendencies, re-establish the connection between research and teaching, and through its approach both to teaching and the practice of medicine seek to provide a liberating influence in the undergraduate curriculum.
尽管社会学在过去十年中取得了巨大进展，但它在医学院中的地位仍然不稳定。由于未能对其在医生教育中的贡献进行连贯的辩护，其问题变得更加复杂。本文确定了三种社会学教学方法：人际关系方法；基础科学方法；以及应用科学方法。讨论了每种方法的局限性。有人认为，它们提供了一种扭曲的社会学版本，代表了医学教育的相互竞争的方法。进一步有人认为，社会学必须抑制其帝国主义倾向，重新建立研究与教学之间的联系，并通过其教学方法和医学实践，力求在本科课程中发挥解放性的影响。
