Description: Sarason is concerned with the underlying logic of settings, their origins and social contexts. He provides a conceptual framework for what happens when "two or more people come together in new and sustained relationships to attain stated objectives." Consider the many familiar settings: marriages, clinics, families, schools, youth centers, conventions, and plays. Sarason offers a detailed analysis of the social process of creating a setting, with examples drawn from education, mental health, architecture, history, political science, government, and other fields. In identifying settings that succeed, he asks such questions as: What kind of leadership do they require? This neglected problem provides endless fascination for a critical set of issues. Social scientists, psychologists, and researchers in related fields will find this a challenging study. Leaders in any field who are engaged in enterprises involving new settings will find that it has immediate practical value.---------------------------------------------------- See condition notes.
