Riassunto

The relationships children form with each other are important not only to childhood happiness but also to healthy adult functioning. Originally published in 1998, Phillip Slee and Ken Rigby presented an up-to-date overview of the latest findings in this area at the time, with reviews of current theory, research and intervention strategies across a wide range of topics from an international group of researchers and clinicians.

Children’s Peer Relations includes sections on peer status, gender and ethnicity, disability, illness and loneliness with particular attention to the question of how children’s peer relations can best be described and evaluated. There is also critical examination of methods of intervention to improve children’s relations with others in school, family and community. Children’s Peer Relations provided social researchers, school counsellors, psychologists and students of child development with a comprehensive handbook on this crucial topic. Today it can be read in its historical context.
