Social Theory and Social Practice is a unique effort at applied social theory. Hans L.

It remains a pioneering discourse for practitioners of social research and social policy.Zetterberg gives a searching review of the various ways in which social practitioners attempt to use the accumulated knowledge of social science. He proceeds with a compact summary of the knowledge of the academicians of social science, noting that practitioners are often unaware of much useful academic knowledge.
