If I were to run a graduate program in "mental health counseling," this would be a required text. Maybe it would be the only text.

As a therapist, I can highly recommend this book to students of psychology, to colleagues, and to anyone who wants to know more about Social Learning Theory. Bandura is a genius. The ideas presented in this book are so profound, and yet, so highly accessible and useful that you will find yourself referring to it again and again. A must-have for your Clinical Library.

Great book exploring the relationship between Self-Efficacy and Perceived Self-Efficacy and how that relationship affects our lives. It is written in a way that makes very complex ideas understandable to the layman (myself).

Great book, by one of the foremost psychologists of our times. It's a gift to be able to learn from his wisdom. And for those sciencey types, there is peer-reviewed everything through the book.

Ich hab das Buch eigentlich "nur" als Zitationsquelle für meine Abschlussarbeit gekauft - finde es aber so interessant, dass ich auch darüber hinaus darin schmökere. Lässt sich leichter lesen als manches deutsche Fachbuch.
