Procrastination is a fascinating, highly complex human phenomenon
for which the time has come for systematic theoretical and
therapeutic effort. The present volume reflects this effort. It was
a labor of love to read this scholarly, timely book-the first of
its kind on the topic. It was especially encouraging to find that
its authors are remarkably free of the phenomenon they have been
investigating. One might have expected the opposite. It has often
been argued that people select topics that trouble them and come to
understand their problems better by studying or treating them in
others. This does not appear to be true of the procrastination
researchers represented in this book. I base this conclusion on two
simple observations. First, the work is replete with recent refer
ences and the book itself has reached the reader scarcely a year
following its completion. Second, when one considers the remarkable
pace of pro grammatic research by these contributors during the
past decade, it is clear that they are at the healthy end of the
procrastination continuum. The fascinating history of the term
procrastination is well documented in this book. The term continues
to conjure up contrasting, eloquent images-especially for poets.
When Edward Young wrote in 1742, "Pro crastination is the Thief of
Time," he was condemning the waste of the most precious of human
commodities."
