Synopsis
Our aim in publishing the present volume is twofold. First, we present the results of an attempt to develop a formal theory about status passages, hoping that however deficient readers may find the product they will be sufficiently stimulated by it to improve our methods. Our second more pragmatic aim is to generate formal theory that is potentially useful for studying status passages, wherever they may occur.

About the Author
Barney G. Glaser is founder of the Grounded Theory Institute in California, and has also been a research sociologist at the University of California Medical Center, San Francisco. He is the author or co-author of several books, including The Grounded Theory Perspective II and Experts versus Laymen: A Study of the Patsy and the Subcontractor, published by AldineTransaction.
Anselm Strauss (1916-1996) was an American medical sociologist and professor at the University of Chicago. He was elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1980.
Review
“The reader’s view of this book will depend heavily upon whether he admires the work of Parsons or Goffman, Garfinkle or Marx, Merton or Mills. It depends on whether he favors the inductive or deductive approach to research, what he considers theory to be, how he thinks it should be formulated, and what relationship he sees between theory and data. The systematic account of this method of theory building raises fundamental questions which are of concern to all sociologists. Glaser and Strauss provide a valuable opportunity to review these questions.”
—Rex A. Lucas, Contemporary Sociology
“Earlier works [in the series] set the “ground” for this book, which is intended as an analytical treatment of ubiquitous social process referred to as “status passage.””
—Karen S. Cook, Social Forces
“[T]he area of study is an important one and any new impetus given to its development is praiseworthy.”
—Solon T. Kimball, American Journal of Sociology
