| Summary: | "Life is complex. Accordingly, this volume represents an attempt to share with interested readers a way not only to recognize complexity in our lives but also to embrace it. Thus, the editor's overarching goal for this volume is to challenge readers to think more richly and complexly about self-criticism and self-enhancement as powerful frameworks for understanding and changing human behavior, including one's own. The present volume consists of three main parts. Part I focuses on popular notions of self-enhancement as good and self-criticism as bad. Complementing the first part, Part II focuses on the less popular but equally compelling notions of self-criticism as good and self-enhancement as bad. To integrate the rich and diverse views represented in the previous two parts, Part III focuses on an appreciation of self-criticism and self-enhancement as both good and bad. Part IV addresses some of the clinical implications of self-criticism and self-enhancement. The volume concludes with a look to the future. Indeed, the works presented in this volume are a testimony to the fact that greater appreciation for these constructs can be garnered to yield a better understanding of them in both future research and practice"--Book.
