Additional text
"The chapters are clear, focused, and well written and provide a wealth of information on cutting edge research and theoretical perspectives. ... Killen and Smetana's Handbook of Moral Development allows readers to come along for the ride as outstanding thinkers in the field share their efforts to 'figure out' the dynamic and expanding field of moral development."
—Association for Moral Education
"...this new 'Handbook' provides a bridge over the cognitive/affective divide that has limited progress in our understanding of how to foster moral development."
