Handbook of the Uncertain Self by Patrick J Carroll
This Handbook explores the cognitive, motivational, interpersonal, clinical, and applied aspects of psychological uncertainty. It showcases both the diversity and the unity that defines contemporary perspectives on uncertainty in self within social and personality psychology."The chapters in this volume demonstrate convincingly that certainty is a two-edged sword, sometimes good and sometimes notThey also illustrate how uncertainty plays a role in many parts of our lives, from selecting among a dozen varieties of toothpaste to fighting depression." - Jerry Burger, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Santa Clara University
"'Know thyself' was one of the central dictates of the ancient world. Since that time, psychologists have discovered just how difficult the task can be. The Handbook of the Uncertain Self brings together a set of first-rate thinkers to discuss the latest research and theory on this topic: the constructs, the causes, and the consequences. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the (un)certain self." - W. Keith Campbell, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Georgia
