CHOICE Review

The 12 scholarly chapters by experts in the field are simply written and easily understandable at the undergraduate level. The book is organized into three sections: individual personality processes, jealousy in close relationships, and systems and societal influences on jealousy. These emotions are discussed most frequently in a descriptive way; the focus is on the development and antecendents of these emotions, with little emphasis on the direct resolution or removal of these states. Although few of the ideas and research are actually published for the first time here, the chapters provide a cohesive and very up-to-date summary of theory and research on the psychology of jealousy and envy. Thus, the volume will be most useful for students beginning their exploration of jealousy and envy, and will be an excellent guide to primary sources. Although this edited volume is a useful addition to a library's collection on jealousy, Gregory White and Brian Mullen's Jealousy: Theory, Research, and Clinical Strategies (CH, Jun'90) is still the best treatment of jealousy and absolutely necessary for any adequate collection. -A. G. Halberstadt, North Carolina State University

Author notes provided by Syndetics

Peter Salovey received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Yale University in 1986 where he is presently an associate professor contributing to both the social/personality and clinical psychology programs. His major research interest is the functions of human emotion, especially the manner in which emotions direct cognition, motivate social behavior, and color close relationships. Most recently, Salovey has been concerned with complex emotions such as envy and jealousy, and the influence of emotions on perceptions of health and illness. He is the co-author of PEER COUNSELING (with Vincent J. D'Andrea) and REASONING, INFERENCE, AND JUDGEMENT IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY (with Dennis Turk). Salovey is also the editor of the Guilford Emotions and Social Behavior Series.
