Rezensionen

"I have no doubt that those interested in youth mentoring wouldfind the specific chapters useful. It is then an extra bonus tohave available similarly fine articles on mentoring of students inacademia and mentoring in the workplace." (The PreventionResearcher, 1 December 2011)

"This book provides up-to-date review and synthesis of researchand theory on the antecedents, correlates, and consequences ofmentoring. It also provides critical analyses of the literature andthen reflection on the appraisals. This account organizes andcritiques the mentoring literature in a way that identifies keyissues and prompts heuristic hypotheses." (Neopoprealism Journal,24 November 2011)

"An integrative view of mentoring [is presented] in the lastchapter...[it] does a great job in pulling together the threeperspectives." (PsycCritiques)

"The definitive work on mentoring.... All contributors draw onexisting knowledge to present best practices for each category....Essential." (Choice)"Allen and Eby's vision to integrate the fragmented literature onmentoring employees, students, and youth has produced a masterfulvolume that will be immensely helpful to researchers andpractitioners."
--Jeffrey H. Greenhaus, Drexel University

"By juxtapositioning parallel articles on youth, academic, andworkplace mentoring on a various of topics - theory,practice, outcomes - this handbook spurs researchers in allthree areas to broaden their thinking and challenge their currentperspectives. I particularly enjoyed thinking about what was uniqueand what was common across the theoretical pathways through whichmentoring benefits the protégé. Each type of mentoringhas its unique features, but I found more commonality than I hadexpected before reading this book. The summary chapters at the endof each section were a particularly useful feature of thebook."
--Jean B. Grossman, Princeton University

"This volume is truly ground-breaking in its integrativetreatment of heretofore largely distinct bodies of scholarship onmentoring relationships within the diverse contexts of youthprograms, higher education, and the workplace. Collectively, thecontributions make a compelling case for not only the theoretical,but also the practical value of taking careful stock of thecommonalities as well as the uniquenesses that characterizementoring relationships across differing critical points in thelife span. This handbook does a great deal to advance ourunderstanding of mentoring relationships and how best to unlocktheir potential and, undoubtedly, will stimulate many furtherimportant advances in the field."
--David DuBois, University of Illinois at Chicago
