Riassunto

• A case study at the end of each theorist chapter puts the theory into a larger perspective, helping you understand how the information can be applied to practice.
• A Major Concepts & Definitions box in each theorist chapter outlines and summarizes the theory's most significant ideas and clarifies content-specific vocabulary.
• Each theorist chapter concludes with an extensive bibliography outlining numerous primary and secondary sources of information ideal for research projects.
• Critical Thinking Activities at the end of each theorist chapter challenge you to process the theory presented and apply it to personal and hypothetical practice situations.

• Diagrams for theories help you visualize and better understand inherently abstract concepts.
