About this book

Covering over fifteen years of research, this compilation offers the first comprehensive review of the relationships between self-efficacy, adaptation, and adjustment. Following a general overview of self-efficacy, renowned researchers discuss important topics such as depression, anxiety, addictive disorders, vocational and career choice, preventive behavior, rehabilitation, stress, academic achievement and instruction, and collective efficacy. Psychologists concerned with social cognition and practitioners in clinical counseling will find this an invaluable reference.

Reviews

"This well-written text will enable scientists-practitioners to review the applications and limits of selected issues in self-efficacy. [...] Overall, the lucid, exuberant, and balanced presentations exemplify the necessary components of the construct under analysis."
(Readings)
"An excellent reference on self-efficacy theory and its applications in clinical, counseling, and health psychology [...] an important contribution to the literature."
(Doody's Journal)
