Development from Adolescence to Early Adulthood: A dynamic systemic approach to transitions and transformations (Explorations in Developmental Psychology)

Traditionally, the subject of adolescent development has been explored using a stage based approach, often with an emphasis on the potential risks and problems of adolescence. Taking a different approach, in this book the authors draw upon a wealth of research to examine the period of development from adolescence to adulthood from a dynamic systems perspective; investigating multi-facetted, multi-variable explanations surrounding the transitions and consequent transformations that occur in young peoples’ lives, as they change from teenagers to young adults. The book considers the social institutions, interactions, contexts and relationships that influence each other, and young people, during developmental transitions. Topics covered include: <ul><ul>
<li>dynamic systems theory in developmental and social psychology </li> <li>adolescents in social contexts</li> <li>compliments, lies and other social skills </li> <li>school, university and labour market transition </li> <li>adolescent health in a lifespan context</li> <li>family dynamics.</li> </ul></ul>
Development from Adolescence to Early Adulthood will be key reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the field of developmental psychology, as well as clinicians and policy makers working with young people.

Dictionary of Developmental Psychology

This series of dictionaries provides comprehensive, up-to-date definitions in each subject. They are fully cross-referenced. The dictionaries arose out of the author's dissatisfaction with existing works which arc incomplete, and either require an in depth knowledge of psychology to make use of them, or are written solely for the beginner. Definitions in these dictionaries are aimed at the level of knowledge of the reader, so that basic terms are explained as though to a novice, while more complex terms are aimed at readers with an assumed greater level of knowledge (although by use of the cross-references provided a more basic explanation can usually be found). The definitions are in greater depth, and are cross-referenced to a greater extent, than other dictionaries.

Dictionary of Psychological Testing, Assessment and Treatment

Mental Health

Now in paperback, these dictionaries provide comprehensive and up-to-date definitions in each specialist area. Definitions are written in plain English and aim to meet the reader's level of knowledge: basic terms are explained as though to a novice, more complex terms assume a higher level of knowledge, the comprehensive system of cross-referencing ensures that the reader will always be able to find a simple explanation.
The three volumes cover developmental and cognitive psychology and psychological testing, assessment and treatment. The books will be of especial interest to psychology students, but will also be invaluable to specialists in other fields who require information about specific areas of psychology.
The dictionary provides definitions of over 2000 key terms in cognition, equipping the reader to understand and use the terminology of the subject. It includes not only comprehensible and comprehensive definitions of terms, but also explanations of key experiments and theories.
