This review is from: Social, Emotional, and Personality Development, Volume 3, Handbook of Child Psychology, 5th Edition (Paperback)
Everyone in the field of child and developmental psychology has praised this book, which is to child psychology as the Standard Edition is to psychoanalysis. I had a copy of the third edition from my graduate training; this 1999 5th edition advances that earlier work. Every graduate student dealing with children and adolescents should have this reference volume.I loved the chapters by Carolyn Saarni ("Emotional Development: Action, communication and understanding), whose other works I have read; by Susan Harter ("The development of self-representations"); and by Elliot Turiel ("The development of morality.") They are excellent examples of research, theory, and good writing, all at the same time. This recommendation may sound silly, but I'll say it anyway: This is the best compendium of theory and research on the social, emotional, and personality development of children and adolescents. If you are a graduate student, this is a necessary volume. You will be asked questions from this on your comprehensive exams. Good luck! PS The production qualities from John Wiley are excellent, also. This book will hold up.
