Reviews for The Blackwell Handbook of Mentoring: A Multiple Perspectives Approach
"I have no doubt that those interested in youth mentoring would find the specific chapters useful. It is then an extra bonus to have available similarly fine articles on mentoring of students in academia and mentoring in the workplace." (The Prevention Researcher, 1 December 2011) "This book provides up-to-date review and synthesis of research and theory on the antecedents, correlates, and consequences of mentoring. It also provides critical analyses of the literature and then reflection on the appraisals. This account organizes and critiques the mentoring literature in a way that identifies key issues and prompts heuristic hypotheses." (Neopoprealism Journal, 24 November 2011) "An integrative view of mentoring [is presented] in the last chapter…[it] does a great job in pulling together the three perspectives." (PsycCritiques) "The definitive work on mentoring.... All contributors draw on existing knowledge to present best practices for each category.... Essential." (Choice)
