{"product_id":"9780826103147","title":"Self-Esteem Research, Theory, and Practice: Toward a Positive Psychology of Self-Esteem, Third Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eDr. Mruk has produced a highly readable new edition of his original work on an often misunderstood psychological construct--self-esteem. Mruk's view that self-esteem is a critically important influence on psychological adjustment and quality of life is now an accepted tenet in personality theory. Lack of self-esteem is frequently a precursor to depression, suicidal behavior, and other personality disorders. Nonetheless, the clinical diagnosis of self-esteem problems has lacked the basis of an overarching theory. Dr. Mruk's comprehensive analysis distills the literature on self-esteem into practical and reliable treatment methods for both clinicians and researchers. The new edition contains updated research and current terms, and addresses the self-esteem \"backlash.\" He concludes with worksheets and detailed guidelines for conducting self-esteem building workshops.\u003c\/p\u003eAdded features include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor theories of self-esteem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter on the new positive psychology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 new references\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Mruk has developed a writing style that is successfully oriented toward both academic and clinical audiences in the areas of counseling, education, nursing, psychology, and social work, thus providing much-needed information for teachers, students, and practicing clinicians in a clear, concise way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130644578544,"sku":"9780826103147","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780826103147_p0.jpg?v=1763755556","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826103147","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
