Rezensionen

"I have no doubt that those interested in youth mentoring would
find the specific chapters useful. It is then an extra bonus to
have available similarly fine articles on mentoring of students in
academia and mentoring in the workplace." (The Prevention
Researcher, 1 December 2011)



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

"Allen and Eby's vision to integrate the fragmented literature on
mentoring employees, students, and youth has produced a masterful
volume that will be immensely helpful to researchers and
practitioners."

--Jeffrey H. Greenhaus, Drexel University

"By juxtapositioning parallel articles on youth, academic, and
workplace mentoring on a various of topics - theory,
practice, outcomes - this handbook spurs researchers in all
three areas to broaden their thinking and challenge their current
perspectives. I particularly enjoyed thinking about what was unique
and what was common across the theoretical pathways through which
mentoring benefits the protégé. Each type of mentoring
has its unique features, but I found more commonality than I had
expected before reading this book. The summary chapters at the end
of each section were a particularly useful feature of the
book."

--Jean B. Grossman, Princeton University

"This volume is truly ground-breaking in its integrative
treatment of heretofore largely distinct bodies of scholarship on
mentoring relationships within the diverse contexts of youth
programs, higher education, and the workplace. Collectively, the
contributions make a compelling case for not only the theoretical,
but also the practical value of taking careful stock of the
commonalities as well as the uniquenesses that characterize
mentoring relationships across differing critical points in the
life span. This handbook does a great deal to advance our
understanding of mentoring relationships and how best to unlock
their potential and, undoubtedly, will stimulate many further
important advances in the field."

--David DuBois, University of Illinois at Chicago
