Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Handbook of Self-Regulation is a wonderful sourcebook reflecting the diversity of an emerging research area-one that will unquestionably become increasingly important in the future. The reader seeking to become acquainted with the area will be greatly rewarded by reading the book."
-CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY

"...provide a good overview to treatment issues for many specific and common DSM-IV diagnoses... Overall, this book seems well suited to the beginning practitioner or graduate student who wishes to have a lot of basic information about empirically supported treatments for a variety of diagnoses in a single sourcebook. Its references and overviews would likely prove useful as well to more experienced therapists who are attempting to revive old knowledge or gain a quick introduction to an area with which they are unfamiliar."
-PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORTS (Volume 89, Number 209-210, 2001)

"...the definitive psychology text on willpower"
-John Cloud, TIME MAGAZINE (June 12, 2006)

This review is from: Handbook of Self-Regulation (Paperback)

A postgraduate topic of actuality for psychologists and also an actual field of work both in institutions and schools, since lack of habit-formation in early childhood will reflect and impact goal-seeking opportunities both for the individual and for the labor group. More development needed on strategies to be applied to help colaborative work be successful through individual commitment. Since I am also a psychologist I found this topic very useful for university level, teachers and students.
