Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Four stars for this remarkable book!" - Eleanor E. Maccoby, Stanford University, California, USA "A marvelously written account of an impressively in-depth exploration of the experiences and circumstances that build persons over time...There are not many 30-year studies out there, but beyond simply being rare, this study is rich in theory and inspiring to anyone who has ever wondered what makes a person who he/she is." - Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry "This is a comprehensive, well-conceived and constructed longitudinal developmental study that makes a significant contribution to the understanding of development and its problems. It will be most welcome not only to students of child development, but to all practitioners of psychological disciplines dealing with development and its outcomes." - Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic "If you want to be informed on the most up to date, profound thinking about development, this is the one book that should be read...Woven throughout the book is a presentation of the cutting edge theoretical perspective on development...Useful as supplementary reading in an advanced undergraduate or graduate-level course on developmental theory, or a more general course on human development." - Journal of Child and Family Studies Read more...
