Review quotes
Review quotes
"This volume draws prominents representatives of social contructionism together, bridging philosophy and psychology in an unusally effective way."—WILLIAM PAKA, UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
"This work has several impressive features...strength of scholarship...timeliness...organizational style...and its level of focus on the subject matter. This book should be received eagerly by scholars in a variety of disciplines (and) although not intended as a textbook, I would expect to see the book assigned in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in social psychology, developmental psychology, and sociology. I would definately assign parts of this book in my course on moral development."—PHILIP DAVIDSON, CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA
