First published in 1986, this book explores the links between foundational social science research and practical efforts to enhance the well-being of children, youth, and families. It details the dynamic, sometimes divided, relationship between social scientists and program developers in the mid-20th century. The authors propose that a divergence, modeled on the physical sciences, can hinder both action-oriented initiatives and the pursuit of knowledge. The work addresses ten critical questions regarding the balance between research and implementation.
