An ambitious book,
By
This review is from: Handbook of Approach and Avoidance Motivation (Hardcover)
This edited book is an attempt to integrate a wide variety of thinking from a diverse literature, all revolving around the dual concepts of approach (also known as activation or facilitation) and avoidance (also known as inhibition). And it is very successful in this attempt. The authors are all authorities in their field, and a balanced body of research and theory is represented.
My use of the book has only been superficial, so I cannot give a thorough review at this stage, but if you are a researcher in the field of motivation, emotion, or theoretical analysis of psychological dysfunction, then I'm sure you'll appreciate the depth, breadth, and insight this book has to offer. It would also interest psychological researchers and theorists of all sorts, although familiarity with the general concepts of approach and avoidance will make your reading time much more exciting.
