Solution-Centered Sociology: Addressing Problems through Applied Sociology

by Stephen F. Steele, Anne Marie Scarisbrick-Hauser, William J. Hauser

Elegant and economical in approach, Solution-Centered Sociology is an ideal introduction to the world of applied sociology. It provides students with an applied view of the many social factors which affect everyday life, and offers a number of tools to help find solutions to issues which arise in the social world. Written in a style which is both encouraging and pragmatic, Solution-Centered Sociology is intended to be continually drawn upon, like a tool kit, to help students better view their world and to develop practical uses of sociology. As such, it is not only intended as a core text in an applied sociology course, but ideally as a supplement to basic courses such as Social Problems or the Introduction to Sociology.
