Abstract:
The Blackwell Handbook of Mentoring: A Multiple Perspectives Approach focuses on three areas of mentoring – youth, college, and workplace. Within this book, each area is examined across five themes: theoretical and methodological issues, naturally occurring mentoring, mentoring benefits, diversity and mentoring, and best practices for formal programs. This book review focuses only on the youth mentoring material.

Reviewer Suzanne Griffith concludes that “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.”
