In this book, first published in 1991, Lisl Klein and Ken Eason look at the various issues involved when attempts are made to make use of the theories, methods and findings of the social sciences in practical affairs. They consider how human and social considerations may be successfully integrated with technical and economic ones in the design and development of organisations and work. Their study is both empirical and theoretical. Its core is the examination of fourteen case studies from manufacturing and service organisations in Britain and Germany. The book concludes with a discussion of what contributes to a successful practice. Its findings will be invaluable to all social scientists interested in the application of their disciplines as well as to potential clients in the world of business and industry.

Other times the kite turns into a sail, and she's like a boat, bobbing along the waves, until water spills over the sides and she starts to sink. "I try to bail the water out," the child says, "but my bucket is too small or has a hole in it." On a better day, Mom introduces the child to a "new friend" named Grace, a therapist and a good listener. Grace explains that it's not the child's job to fix things when Mom has a sinking day. And Grace helps the child find coping strategies such as talking, playing games and, especially, drawing as a creative outlet for their complicated feelings.Gradually, the child begins to feel better when they're at home with Mom, where there are plenty of crayons, as well as the comfort of a beloved pet to cuddle.But the child has one big question. At the end of the story, they ask their mom, and then Grace, if they will sink
