FROM THE FOREWORD: THE field of counseling and psychotherapy has for years presented the puzzling spectacle of unabating enthusiasm for forms of treatment whose effectiveness could not be objectively demonstrated. With few exceptions, statistical studies have consistently failed to show that any form of psychotherapy is followed by significantly more improvement than would be caused by the mere passage of an equivalent period of time. Despite this, practitioners of various psychotherapeutic schools have remained ormly convinced that their methods are effective. The growing demand for psychotherapy is evidence that many recipients of these forms of treatment also believe that they are being helped. The series of investigations reported in this impressive book have succeeded in resolving this paradoxical state of affairs, and the consequences may be far-reaching.

No matter what the polls and surveys say, what really matters is how the person on the street says you're doing The police, too, need ways to determine how well they are doing—as a department and also as individuals within the department. No issue is more basic to the functioning of the police in a democratic society, and no issue more clearly underscores the difference between traditional policing and Community Policing than performance evaluation…”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “I WAS THE CITY'S TALISMAN, comforting and protective. Rising above the southwest edge of Topeka, Kansas, the hill was known as Burnett's Mound. More than just a landmark, to the Indians it had been a source of safety, and their legend remained. It was claimed that no tornado could ever get by the massive mound, that it would deflect the force of any funnel. The belief was reassuring. Few people remembered, if they had ever known, that according to the dry and unsentimental records of the United States Weather Bureau seven tornadoes had in fact touched ground in Topeka since 1897. Perhaps the facts were easy to forget because these earlier tornadoes had caused minimal damage; tornadoes that…”

In the early 20th century, the Watertown Arsenal became a beacon of innovation through the application of Frederick Taylor's principles of scientific management.
