I recommend this book for anyone who wants to have a broader understanding of the self and how our identities are shaped in a social, historical, psychological and neurological point of view.” “This is a very useful collection of essays for the researchers and academicians in philosophy, cognitive science and neuroscience as well as in psychology and especially in social and cognitive psychology.A very timely and valuable contribution to the current interdisciplinary discussions of the self, especially given the recent upsurge in theoretical and empirical interest in self-related topics.

“Provides a useful overview for advanced students and researchers interested in the self, and, more important, some needed perspective on the way forward.” “This is a well-written book by influential authors who are experts in this field.It is an important book for researchers and clinicians.” This handbook would make a fine introduction in an advanced undergraduate course (assuming knowledgeable and engaged students), and an even better review of the field for graduate students.The book is also valuable to professionals working in the areas of self and identity.” A handbook should provide a comprehensive and current review of the field it covers, and the Handbook of Self and Identity delivers in each respect. The book is well-organized, well-indexed, and easy to read.” “Handbook of Self and Identity is dynamite.Almost every finding relates uncannily to the issues my patients bring to sessions.The editors' care and scrutiny are evident throughout this attractive volume.
