Handbook of theories of social psychology

This two-volume handbook provides an exploration of the major developments of social psychological theories that have taken place over the past half century, culminating in a state of the art overview of the primary theories and models that have been developed in this field. Authored by leading international experts, each chapter represents a personal and historical narrative of teach theory's development including the inspirations, critical junctures and problem-solving efforts that have effected the choices made in each theory's evolution as well as the impact each has had on the canon of social psychology. Unique to this handbook, these narratives provide a rich background for understanding how theories are created more generally; how they're nurtured and shaped over time; and how through examination we can better understand their unique contribution to society as a whole.
