Psychology Press
First published in 1975. The purpose of this volume is to present a collection of contemporary theory and research in moral development. The coverage, as further discussed in the Introduction, is selective rather than comprehensive with the emphasis on current contributions that focus on various provocative issues pertinent to both moral judgment and moral behavior. The fact that there is no existing collection of papers and critical evaluation of this type makes this book a unique resource for workers and students in the area of moral development.
