The Adolescent Experience places the college student at the very heart of the book. The authors engage in a dialogue with the reader that is warm, caring, and often humorous as they write and share material about this time of life. The authors emphasize the role that development and society play in the lives of young people. The book has a solid research basis with a historical and multicultural focus. But most important, the book is practical and applied with the strongest prevention/health promotion material available in any basic undergraduate adolescent psychology text currently on the market.

From Childhood to Adolescence: A Transitional Period? (Advances in Adolescent Development)

In what areas are children and adolescents similar or dissimilar? And is the onset of early adolescence a transitional period for those characteristics that are different in childhood and adolescence? These key questions are addressed in this volume, the first comprehensive review of the literature on change and stability in the period between childhood and adolescence. The contributors explore the commonly held beliefs and theories regarding whether the profound biological changes that occur in puberty impact on or alter children′s self-concepts, psychological functioning and interpersonal relationships.
