Recenzii

"This book is concise, thorough, and powerful. … In order to tease apart the complex issue of self-esteem, Zeigler-Hill (Oakland Univ.) brought together an impressive array of well-known and rising researchers and scholars. … The writing is engaging and scholarly, and the content is relevant. Those who work with individuals with self-esteem issues and those who study the concept from a more theoretical point of view will find much of value in this work. This is another fine addition to the "Current Issues in Social Psychology" series. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners."
—R. E. Osborne, Texas State University--San Marcos, CHOICE, February 2014

Scholarly and public fascination with self-esteem will never abate, it seems. This volume offers the state-the-art in thriving self-esteem research and practice. The eight chapters, written by leading figures in the field, address such issues as: how self-esteem develops, what is the relation between self-structure and self-esteem, why people pursue self-esteem, what constitutes healthy self-esteem, whether self-esteem is associated with important life outcomes, how self-esteem contributes to psychological adjustment, and how self-esteem can be changed. This well-edited volume will be a valuable tool for students, researchers, and practitioners alike. - Constantine Sedikides, Department of Psychology, University of Southampton, UK
