In this welcome guide, sociologists who have successfully established consulting practices present practical examples of how to apply sociological knowledge and methodological procedures to real life situations. In addition to offering detailed suggestions for training, the contributors explore the many ways in which sociologists can help solve problems faced by business, governmental organizations, social agencies, schools, and churches. The ups and downs of establishing a consulting practice are outlined and supplemented by first-hand accounts of the contributors' experiences.
