Contemporary Adolescence introduces and reviews major themes in adolescent development. The lively and topical chapters, including such topics as the influence of family and friends, sexuality and AIDS, adolescents as parents, the world of work and money, delinquency, and depression and suicide, will appeal to undergraduates and professionals alike. Each chapter provides an overview of important and recent research findings from leading international journals and evaluates their implications for the social and emotional development of adolescents. The text is written in a clear and concise style and cites findings from many different cultures. Many chapters feature a case study, and the reader is able to follow, through the cases, a range of problems. Contemporary Adolescence will make an ideal introductory text for courses in psychology, education, social work and welfare
