"Although this text is one of a series, it stands alone in providing significant insights and knowledge about self....a fine book that stimulates thought and debate....The presentations of the contributors' views in a readable and interesting book result in something out of the ordinary for those interested in how we look at ourselves."—Science Books & Films"Previous volumes of Psychological Perspectives on the Self have been well received by self researchers and have had considerable impact on the field. The current volume already seems to be continuing in this tradition."—Contemporary Psychology.
