Reviews:

• A wealth of research has documented that various aspects of family relationships are predictably related to the quality of children's interactions and relationships with peers.... This volume advances the field by discussing several mechanisms that may account for continuities across family and peer relationships. A variety of theoretical perspectives are represented in the book.
