Praise for the Previous Edition: ""This book attempts to clarify
misunderstandings about self-esteem and offer a rationale for the
legitimacy of including the construct as an important variable for
mental health The author writes fluently and clearly. He is also
considerate in his explanations by organizing chapters
appropriately so that his narrative follows well-articulated
empirical findings. "" -PsycCritiques ""Why another book on
self-esteem? As Mruk points out to begin his own, there are already
7,337 articles and books on this topic. What Mruk also makes clear
early on is just how little we really do understand of the
complexity of this topic. Most have settled for overly simplistic,
popularized truisms, and most scientific studies reveal ambiguous
or insignificant consequences Mruk's solution is to supplement
these traditionally scientific studies with findings from
qualitative, specifically phenomenological research The approach
allows Mruk a very close access to the lived dimensions of
self-esteem, and an astute basis for his concrete suggestions for
enhancing self-esteem."" - Chris Aanstoos Editor, The Humanistic
Psychologist This new edition of the most comprehensive text
available on the theories, research findings, and practice
implications of self-esteem represents a major shift in our
contemporary understanding of self-esteem and positive psychology.

psychology themes throughout and explain how self-esteem
enhancement interventions fit into evidence-based practice. This
