Peer Rejection by Karen L Bierman
Addressing the widespread and painful problem of chronic peer rejection, this book combines up-to-date research with practical strategies for school- and clinic-based intervention. An innovative developmental framework is presented for understanding why certain children face rejection, the peer group dynamics involved, and implications for social-emotional development and mental health. Strategies for assessing rejected children are discussed in detail, and guidelines are provided for implementing social competence coaching programs and other effective interventions. Illustrative case studies and interviews are featured throughout.'This volume provides an invaluable tool to researchers, theorists, and practitioners interested in peer rejection and peer relations in childhoodDrawing on her combined research and clinical experience, Dr. Bierman has created a richly textured picture of the development of peer rejection and what can be done to reduce it. This is truly a tour de force.' - Mark T. Greenberg, PhD, Prevention Research Center, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
'Over the past 20 years, research on peer relations has revealed the importance of rejection. This scholarly book provides a wonderful overview of the developmental literature in this area. In addition, realistic, insightful, and empirically supported interventions are described and discussed. This is essential reading for both researchers and clinicians.' - Thomas J. Dishion, PhD, Child and Family Center, University of Oregon, USA
