"!The book is an excellent mid-level text on latent growth modeling! [The graphics] are arguably better than those in any other book on any aspect of SEM. They are crisp and clear, and the inclusion of the theoretical weights is greatly helpful in understanding the graphics!" - Lee Sechrest, Ph.D., University of Arizona "I initially learned growth modeling from this book, and I am still a big fan. It allowed me to jump in and get my feet wet with this flexible analytic method!the text really is just as its title suggestsan introduction--and an excellent one at that..." - James A. Bovaird, Ph.D., University of Kansas
