Reviews

"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)
