As the title indicates, this book deals with advanced theory of mind, that is, forms of mentalistic understanding that emerge beyond the first 5 or 6 years of life. It is one of three book- length treatments of this topic. The first was an earlier book of mine entitled Theory of Mind: Development Beyond the Preschool Years (Miller, 2012). The present book is not simply a new edition of this earlier work. To be sure, it does what new editions always do: namely, update the coverage in light of more recent research— in the present case, several hundred studies from the last 9 or 10 years. But it also differs from the earlier book in its organization and emphases. In particular, several topics that received a few pages in the first book receive chapterlength treatments in the present one. The result, I believe, is a book that complements rather than duplicates its predecessor. The other entry under the book- length heading is a book entitled Theory of Mind in Middle Childhood and Adolescence, edited by Devine and Lecce. This is a fine book, with well- chosen topics for its 11 chapters and leading researchers to write about each topic. As is often the case with edited books, however, some topics fall between the cracks; the present book provides a fuller coverage of a number of issues. My book also provides a lifespan treatment rather than up to adolescence only, and it provides a more up- to- date treatment. My recommendation is that anyone interested in advanced theory of mind draw from both sources.
