Riassunto

For undergraduate courses in Adolescence and Adolescent Development.

Incorporating culture throughout the text (both within the US and outside the US) as a key element in understanding development in adolescence, and expanding the notion of adolescence to include "emerging adulthood" (ages 18-25), this text uses a timely interdisciplinary perspective to present the key theories, research and applications of the field of Adolescent Development. Using many first person accounts from adolescents across cultures; "Thinking Critically" questions; and other features and pedagogy, this text offers a rich and timely introduction to the field of Adolescent Development.
