Reviews the book, Self and Relationships: Connecting Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Processes edited by Kathleen D. Vohs and Eli J. Finkel (see record 2006-04109-000). If the importance of a book can be judged by how many pages are dog-eared, this is a very important book. I found myself excitedly marking almost every other page. The first part of this volume includes two chapters on self-regulation, three chapters on self-concept, and four chapters on interpersonal schemas and orientations. The second part includes four chapters on interdependence, four chapters on specific social interaction processes, and two chapters on interpersonal cognitive processes. Contributions in this volume ignore the field of relationship science, which has contributed to the interpersonal viewpoint earlier and in more nuanced ways than these editors seem aware of. I conclude this because the editors did not include major contributors from that field. Indeed, the relational aspect of the interpersonal is stressed as if the contributors in this book were the sole ones to discover it, as if no contributions to relational constructs from family psychology or even from couples and family therapy had ever existed. Strangely enough, an author index, much needed in a volume of this kind, is not included, because it would have supported the conclusion that this volume is the fruit of a closely knit, ingrown group of first-rate researchers who are relying on the very same sources, ignoring relevant ones outside the field of social psychology.
