Rezensionen

In Becoming Ecological, Jim Kelly takes the reader on a scholarly journey through the development of his most influential ideas. Along this journey, he shows readers that his personal experiences and his scholarship are closely linked, reflecting the principles he articulates in his ecological view of psychology. Kelly's ideas remain fresh, relevant, provocative, and compelling. I have no doubt that the pages of my copy of Becoming Ecological will rapidly become dog-eared.
