‘Trust is the basis of relationships. It allows them to endure through time and distance. Breaking trust means destroying the bonds it nurtures. This Handbook reflects the extremely rich work of Rotenberg on trust, and of the co-editors who have brought together a wide series of contributions by several other outstanding researchers in the field.’

''Research on trust, gullibility, and mistrust has contributed to the study of close relationships, whether romantic or therapeutic and to research on our navigation of conflicting testimony whether online, in the courtroom, or beyond. This Handbook with contributors from social psychology, developmental psychology and psychopathology is a rich – and trustworthy – guide to this flourishing field.''
