Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"Conflict, Interdependence, and Justice: The Intellectual Legacy of Morton Deutsch is many things: a celebration of Morton Deutsch's life work, an introduction to new methods, a rubric for theory development, a self-help book, a manual for teachers and politicians, and a historical look at social psychology. ... psychologists and graduate students who are interested in social justice, conflict, or political psychology would profit from reading the book. It would also be useful reading in a class on theory development or the history of social psychology." (Helen C. Harton, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 57 (20), May, 2012)
