The Construction of the Self

"Drawing upon extensive theoretical knowledge and decades of empirical research by the author and others, this volume traces changes in the structure and content of self-representations from the preschool years through late adolescence. Harter provides a trenchant analysis of the cognitive and social processes responsible for the development of each person's unique sense of self. Harter's presentation will enrich the work of professionals in developmental, social, clinical, and educational psychology, psychiatry, counseling, and related fields. It serves as a primary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses on the development of the self, and as supplemental reading in courses on child development, adolescence, and gender socialization."--BOOK JACKET.
