"This book is unique in that it pulls together writings on the theoretical, methodological, and developmental issues involved in the study of the self. One of the key indicators of healthy functioning in human development is a strong self-concept. The life span orientation of the book makes it even more significant to the fields of human development and psychology." - Jacqueline V. Lerner, Penn State University
