Paycheck to Paycheck is an inspiring tribute to the working class and a global kind of patriotic book which motivates and sends a supportive message straight to the heart of millions. Whether we envision our parents, their roots, blood, sweat and tears or our own pathways of labor to date, the reader feels connected.

Living from paycheck to paycheck is a way of life for many people, some by choice, some by necessity. "Money makes the world go 'round." But the author astutely and poignantly points out that, "money isn't everything." In a world of continued economic flux, one thing remains almost certain. Paychecks will come and go.

Everywhere the author goes, we seem to travel there too, momentarily. "Whether in a home or on the streets of Indiana, from the beauty shops to the corner candy store." citizens talk while the author and reader listens. Paycheck to Paycheck, truly a spirited voice for the past, present and centuries to come.

As this book amply demonstrates, SCT has turned out to have powerful organizational applications. With its theory of living human systems rather than a separate theory of organizations or of organizational behavior, it uses concepts that easily map onto organizational life. It looks at systems as a whole but also in parts. It stresses the importance of understanding boundaries and contexts. It continually focuses on task, and, perhaps, most important of all, it offers a sophisticated understanding of roles, which includes work roles in organizations. It well may be, as more consultants working in organizations become more familiar with the concepts and methods SCT offers, the SCT approach will come to seem indispensable to the resolution of conflict.
-Ken Eisold, Ph.D.

Yvonne Agazarian has long been established as one of the major theoreticians within group and organizational psychology. In this book, she and Susan Gantt have gathered together enriching and stimulating papers within the SCT tradition with the aim of showing us how it works in practice. They have certainly succeeded. SCT is about creating a new culture in which both people and the aims of the organization are strengthened and supported. For those working with organizations, either as leaders or consultants, this book will prove to be a stimulating and reliable companion.
