Reviews for Theory in Practice: Increasing Professional Effectiveness

This book is a landmark in two fields. It is a practical guide to the reform of professional education. It is also a beacon to theoretical thinking about human organizations, about their interdepAndence with the social structure of the professions, and about theory in practice. --Journal of Higher Education This is a fundamentally important book. It strikes directly to the heart of real education--changing behavior. --Administrative Science Quarterly
