"Overall, this book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about how to study human development. It provides a corrective to psychology’s neglect of processes and traditional emphasis on linear causality." – PsycCRITIQUES, February 2016 (Vol. 61, No. 6)
"Each chapter of this book contributes evidence for why dynamic systems are a more adequate way to approach developmental changes in adolescents. In addition, the authors advocate for a more positive view of adolescent behaviors that are normally seen as negative... Overall, the book has an eye-opening perspective that hopefully will make social science researchers think twice before continuing to use their traditional methods."— Emilia Rodriguez, Adolescent Research Review
