Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Self-Esteem Across the Lifespan
Mary H. Guindon Β· 2009
78/100
π Worth It
Guindon's edited volume earns its reputation as the go-to lifespan reference on self-esteem intervention, covering developmental stages and diverse populations with a thoroughness that no single-author text has matched. The multi-author format creates some unevenness, and it is clinical throughout β general readers need not apply β but for practitioners and researchers it is as comprehensive a resource as the field has produced.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
