Self-Criticism and Self-Enhancement Theory, Research, and Clinical Implications

In this book, editor Edward C. Chang has enlisted over 25 distinguished psychologists and scholars who present the pros and cons of regarding self-criticism or self-enhancement as either good or bad. Collectively, they illustrate the benefits of evaluating these concepts more complexly to demonstrate how negative and positive psychological variables may function as a virtue in one situation and as a vice in another situation. Drawing on the works of both philosophers and researchers, the contributors search for a deeper and broader understanding of these fundamental psychological concepts, and they evaluate their effect on individuals and the larger society.Chang, Edward C. is the author of 'Self-Criticism and Self-Enhancement Theory, Research, and Clinical Implications', published 2007 under ISBN 9781433801150 and ISBN 1433801159.
