Reviews

One of the major strengths of this volume is that it has managed to relate the structural phenomenological approach of reversal theory to several of the major areas of research in the field of sport and exercise psychology....Overall, this book is well written, and excellent supporting material is provided that will facilitate future research on reversal theory. <br>-David Lavallee and Mark Nesti, Contemporary Psychology <br>
