Kenneth Bollen's new book, Structural Equations with Latent Variables is a "comprehensive introduction" to the LISREL approach to covariance structure analysis. It is clearly written, insightful, and complete. In it, Bollen covers both basic and advanced topics, provides his own insights into controversies and recent developments, and makes good use of empirical examples to illustrate important points. He also stresses, at every point, that substantive knowledge and the theory of the process being modeled are indispensable for using the method fruitfully. — Ross L. Matsueda (1991) [1]
Bollen’s text, Structural Equations with Latent Variables, represents an authoritative account of covariance structure modeling developments from the perspective of a sociologist who has made important contributions to both the psychometric and sociological literature on these models.
— Jeffrey S. Tanaka (1990)[2]
The book provides a relatively up-to-date state overview on studies related to covariance structure analysis for continuous variables up until 1989.
It is regarded that Bollen's book is the most extensive and attractive book on structural equations modeling currently available, going beyond a strict introductory purpose. The solidly written book contains a lot of information, and till 1989 say, a fairly complete state of the art of covariance structure analysis for continuous variables.
One major drawback of the book is that the field is still expanding so fast that some of the material was outdated as soon as soon as the author ran to the publisher with the final manuscript.
