Louis A. Zurcher, Jr.: An Intellectual Portrait of an Applied Behavioral Scientist

Department of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712.

Acting Co-Editor of The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science Gideon Sjoberg assesses the accomplishments of Louis A. Zurcher, Jr., who was editor of JABS from 1979 until his death in December 1988.A colleague and friend of Zurcher's, Sjoberg critically evaluates Zurcher's scholarly writings, work asJABS editor, and role in academia. Despite any flaws in the development of Zurcher's ideas, Sjoberg considers them valuable for scholars seeking to grasp issues at the core of understanding human existence, particularly those related to social role theory and moral dimensions of the self. He also believes that Zurcher's activities as a journal editor and academic-and the way he lived his life-provide valuable lessons for nearly all of us.
