Peer rejection: developmental processes and intervention strategies

"The volume begins by reviewing the causes and correlates of peer rejection, examining both the characteristics of individual victims and the group dynamics involved. Interview excerpts and case examples illustrate the various forms that peer rejection processes can take during the grade-school years, and implications for social-emotional development and mental health are discussed. Subsequent sections delve into the nuts and bolts of assessment and intervention." "Offering invaluable recommendations for practice that are solidly grounded in the empirical literature, this book belongs on the desks of developmental, child clinical, and school psychologists; education professionals; and researchers and students in these areas. It will serve as a primary or supplemental text in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses."--BOOK JACKET.
