Reviews

"This book is exceptionally clear and thorough, on a topic of much current interest to psychologists. The author has brought together the findings from her project with skill and clarity and considers the current field in a sensible and informed way. I read it with real enthusiasm and interest" - Judy Dunn, Professor of Developmental Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London UK "This book is a unique tour de force. It skilfully integrates aspects of children's own cognitive abilities with features of their social environment to explain the individual differences found in children's theory of mind and the consequences of these differences for their social lives at home and school. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in developmental psychology, child health, and education." -- Janet Wilde Astington, Institute of Child Study, University of Toronto, Canada
