Description: Across fifteen years and three editions, The Adolescent Experience, has taken a practical applied approach to understanding the adolescent years with a solid research focus. In this latest completely rewritten and updated Fourth Edition, the authors share with students the rich social and historical information available on this life stage. They strive to develop an appreciation within the student for the contextual nature of human development, stressing an appreciation of the cultural complexity found in society. They promote an awareness of actions students can take to promote health, and the prevention of adolescent behavior problems (drugs, suicide, alienation) is covered in depth. The authors accomplish these objectives with a warm and caring writing style that blends literature with theory, research, and practice.
