Review from first edition:
"...the diverse formulations in this book not only provide a rich philosophical and theoretical backdrop for the contemporary study of persons in situ, but they also underscore the fact that person-environment psychology is alive and well in late 20th-century psychological science. Future developments and differentiations in the field will long be indebted to the editors of and contributors to this excellent volume."
