Comprehensive text on the transition through adolescence. Covers many of the pitfalls such as peer and societal pressures, drug/alcohol abuse and eating disorders. Based on previous reviews, it sounds like a book for the EDUCATED reader
excellent for students preparing to work with adolescents

Used as a textbook in my course in Adolescent Counseling, I had appreciative comments from my students who found the text not only informative, but easy to follow along in reading it. The book flows in a logical sequence and holds the reader's interest. It captures the essence of the developing adolescent and explains the normal process of maturation. The book also includes an extensive focus on what Miller Newton refers to as "developmental traps," namely the interferences to normal development such as drug/alcohol abuse, violence, eating disorders, etc. He also includes relevant references at the end of each chapter to refer the reader to further works. As a professor, I found the text to be valued by the students and I value their opinions.
