Handbook of Self-Concept: Developmental Social and Clinical Considerations

Self-concept (and self-esteem) is a personality characteristic with a long history of research support and applications in many areas of psychology. It defines how the person sees him/herself, and has applications in developmental, clinical, social, and several other realms of psychology. This is the first book in over ten years that attempts to draw all relevant research into one volume and to synthesize our knowledge about the concept and its applications.
