Lapsley, Chair, Educational Psychology Department, Ball State University "There is no one with a better understanding of how to help young people behave in a moral manner than John Gibbs. His EQUIP program, discussed in this book, is among the finest peer treatment programs available for antisocial youth. This book offers a far-reaching analysis of basic processes in moral development, and it should be read by anyone who is interested in the theory and practice of promoting positive behavior in even the most troubled young." --William Damon, Director, Stanford Center on Adolescence, Stanford University "Moral Development and Reality provides a most engaging journey through the terrain of moral and empathic development through the eyes of a seasoned guide. Gibbss extension and integration of his previous work offers a remarkably fresh, interesting, and provocative study, challenging traditional understandings of moral development." -JOURNAL OF MORAL EDUCATION Moral Development and Reality: Beyond the Theories of Kohlberg and Hoffman explores the nature of moral development, social behavior, and human interconnectedness. By comparing, contrasting, and going beyond the works of pre-eminent theorists Lawrence Kohlberg and Martin Hoffman, author John C. Gibbs addresses fundamental questions: What is morality? Can we speak validly of moral development? Is the moral motivation of behavior primarily a matter of justice or of empathy? Does moral development, including moments of moral inspiration, reflect a deeper reality? Useful for promoting classroom debate and academic dialogue, this innovative book examines Fundamental themes of Kohlbergs cognitive developmental approach The recent integration of Hoffmans theory and research on empathy and moral development Moral self-relevance and other variables that account for prosocial behavior The understanding and treatment of antisocial behavior Issues of moral motivation, perception, and realityMoral Development and Reality elucidates the full range of moral development from superficial perception to a deeper understanding and feeling through social perspective-taking. Providing case studies and chapter questions, Gibbs creates a unique framework for understanding Kohlbergs and Hoffmans influential contributions. Primarily intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the social and behavioral sciences, counseling, and education, Moral Development and Reality will also appeal to scholars in these disciplines.

Gibbss extension and integration of his previous work offers a remarkably fresh, interesting, and provocative study, challenging traditional understandings of moral development." * JOURNAL OF MORAL EDUCATION *"I have been using this book with my students and they love the research on the Near-Death Experience. So profound and pervasive. It has really connected with the students. The author′s thoughtful synthesis was remarkable. The entire book is fantastic. . . . it clearly is a culmination of years of sophisticated and in-depth thinking of moral development and reality." -- Ann-Marie DiBiase"The book was excellent for my course. The students really enjoyed reading it and it helped to stimulate discussion on Kohlberg′s and Hoffman′s perspectives. The integrative approach provided well-balanced and thoughtful insights on the complexity of morality and application. I will certainly recommend it for future use." -- Gustavo Carlo"Not only is this a major contribution to the scholarly literature but advanced undergraduate and graduate students will find it highly readable and accessible. I use the book in my graduate course on adolescent development and it really fits the course well. Students find it readable, interesting, and relevant. This is, I think, the best available overview and synthesis of the vast theoretical literature on moral development." -- David Moshman"Author John Gibbs engages with the most important and vexing questions of moral development in a profound and thoughtful way, showing a scholarly and deep appreciation of the fundamental assumptions that guide and divide the different theoretical perspectives. His approach is both critical and synthetic, offering the framework for a powerful model that can be applied to help us understand both prosocial and antisocial behavior. . . . Gibbs has written one of the most thought-provoking and widely appealing works to appear in the field. He has shown how it may yet be possible to fully integrate justice and empathy in a broader vision of morality, while respecting the unique contributions of each." * JOURNAL OF APPLIED DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY *"Gibbs is one of the most highly regarded moral psychologists in the world today. No other psychologist has studied Kohlberg and Hoffman so assiduously over such a long period of time. Gibbs provides a profound insight into Kohlberg and Hoffman′s achievements by reconstructing their major ideas within a highly original framework. Moral Development and Reality is a book that will inspire as well as inform. It will certainly have a significant influence on moral psychology and its applications to juvenile delinquency and criminal justice. Most importantly, it will challenge all of us as readers to take stock of our lives in the light of a reality beckoning us beyond our mundane sense of justice and goodness." * JOURNAL OF NEAR-DEATH STUDIES *"His [Gibbs] scholarship and broad perspective make the book a very rich, stimulating, and first-rate introduction to moral development and advanced undergraduate and graduate students." -- PsycCritiques"Moral Development and Reality is such an amazing book!" -- Laura E. Berk Review Quote "There is no one with a better understanding of how to help young people behave in a moral manner than John Gibbs.
