Synopsis:
Examines the conventional notion of self-esteem, argues that it has become a panacea, and discusses the concept's influence on education and psychology
From Library Journal:
This work presents a new, thought-provoking perspective on the concept of self-esteem and its effect on human behavior. For decades the idea that high self-esteem leads to individual happiness and solves social problems has been embraced by million of Americans. A scholar studying the subject of self and society, Hewitt (sociology, Univ. of Massachusetts) refutes this popular idea through a logical description, interpretation, and criticism of the self-esteem movement. At a time when various theorists are seriously questioning the importance of self-esteem, Hewitt's discourse offers a fresh view supported by convincing evidence. This excellent, well-documented book should be read by anyone interested in the psychology of self; highly recommended for both academic and large public libraries.?Elizabeth Goeters, DeKalb Coll.
