Rezensionen

"Anyone who has wrestled with these questions will want this book on their shelves. . . This is the definitive authority on raising a healthy social child from 3 years to adolescence." (Parent City, 6 November 2013)

This is what a handbook should be. It is an invaluable resource comprised of chapters by the top people in the field providing comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the full range of topics on social development. --Larry Nucci, University of California, Berkeley

The Editors set out to capture emerging trends in the field and the results are encouraging: promising new developments in our understanding of social development are described, and ideas for new research are explicitly set out. The strengths of the first edition remain: the clarity of the text and the thoroughness of the coverage. It is undoubtedly an exceptional advanced book which will be very widely used and appreciated.
--Judith Dunn, King's College London

This handbook is an important resource for students and researchers alike. It succinctly summarizes the state of the field, with scientific leaders discussing the wide range of research on children's social behavior.
--Felix Warneken, Harvard University

This handbook is a landmark achievement. It is an indispensible guide to the new theory and research on social development, and the chapters provide insights into practical applications for schools and society. It is destined to become an "instant classic" -- the authoritative reference book on child social development.
--Andrew N. Meltzoff, University of Washington
