Handbook of Self-Concept: Developmental, Social, and Clinical Considerations

Synthesizes almost 20 years of research findings in an area with application in just about every specialized field of psychology. Coverage includes the history of self-concept; context-specific self-concept related to the social domain distinguishing between factors of social skills, intelligence, acceptance, peer interactions and related constructs that affect a person's social self-perception; self-concept as an independent and dependent variable in research; and the use of self-concept in clinical practice, focusing on a multidimensional context-dependent model of personality assessment and interpretation.
