Abstract: "Children's Peer Relations: From Development to Intervention is a compilation of virtually everything that is known about the association between children's peer relations and the development of peer rejection, aggression, and antisocial behavior. Looking beyond the peer rejection process, this volume also covers dyadic relationships, cliques, and associations with different types of peers as well as the effects of family influences." "The chapters, written by some of the best-known scientist-practitioners, will interest a wide range of scholars, researchers, and graduate students in developmental psychology and child clinical psychology as well as those working in education, social work, public health, substance abuse, criminology or sociology."--Jacket.
