The Adolescent: Development, Relationships and Cultureoffers
an eclectic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of adolescence,
presenting both psychological and sociological viewpoints as well as
educational, demographic, and economic data. This text discusses not
just one theory on the subject, but many, and outlines the
contributions, strengths, and weaknesses of each. The authors also take
into consideration current and important topics such as ethnic identity
formation, gender issues, the Internet, effects of single-parent
families, etc.
