The Self

Summary: A year later I am still using this book as a reference
Review: First, I should say that I was a student of Dr. Brown's and took his class in which we used this book as the text. But, I still find the information contained in this book useful even now that I am no longer a student. I found this area of psychology very applicable to my daily life, and I am surprised that this is the only book on self-psychology available on the market. He writes in a clear, entertaining manner and he makes the concepts easy to understand. This is a valuable reference to me, and I am certain it will continue to be as I enter graduate study in psychology.

Summary: Excellent book, but could be updated!
Review: I have been a student of Dr. Brown and really enjoyed his class that used this book as a text book. If you are in or near Seattle check out "Self-Concept" at U of WA psychology department.

Summary: Scholarly, insightful, and accessible
Review: Jonathon Brown has created a book that works in both the home and the classroom. Written as a text for upper-level psychology classes in self-psychology, it manages to span the usual gap between 'informative' and 'engaging.' An excellent read for the interested layperson and an invaluable resource for the academic. Bravo!
