Friendship and Development: Putting the Most Human Relationship in Its Place
Bukowski, William M.; Sippola, Lorrie K.
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n109 p91-98 Fall 2005

It is argued that the study of friendship would benefit from a return to basic questions about what friendship is, how it is measured, and how it varies across people and contexts.
