Reviews
From the reviews of the first edition:
"This book offers important insights and sources of useful data for psychologists interested in contributing to the improvement of the life conditions of children. Most important, the text offers psychologists an opportunity to reflect on how they might contribute to the work that is needed for Americans to achieve the good and healthy society that Maslow (1943) envisioned as enabling its citizens to achieve their highest purposes." (Patricia T. Ashton, PsycCRITIQUES, January, 2007)
