Reviews

This book is intended for researchers interested in decision making or developmental psychology, practitioners, or for graduate courses on decision making or cognitive/social development. - ADOLESCENCE This volume is a valuable contribution to the field of cognitive psychology and sociology; it enriches our understanding of the entangled relatioships among social and cultural frameworks, as well as the development of a concept central to Western political, philosphical, and social thought: selfhood. The value of this book is both cumulative and specific. Cumulative, because the sheer number of chapters dealing with adolescent decision-making in a wide range of theoretical and practical contexts increases our knowledge of developmental psychology and its practical application. Specific, because many chapters call into question particular assupmtions that have governed research and policy, in content and in method. - Tatjana Chorney, Journal of the Association for Research on Mothering, Vol. 9, No.1, pgs.242-244
