Keating, Daniel P.; Rosen, Hugh

"Researchers and clinicians will find this volume to be a valuable addition to the growing clinical literature concerned with the application of developmental and constructivist concepts to the domains of counseling and psychotherapy...The breadth and depth of the scholarship in this volume suggests that the constructivist perspective holds great promise for illuminating basic principles and processes of human change over the course of the life span."—Contemporary Psychology
