Launched in 1971, Adolescent Psychiatry, in the words of founding
coeditors Sherman C. Feinstein, Peter L. Giovacchinni, and Arthur
A. Miller, promised "to explore adolescence as a process . . . to
enter challenging and exciting areas that may have profound effects
on our basic concepts." Further, they promised "a series that will
provide a forum for the expression of ideas and problems that
plague and excite so many of us working in this enigmatic but
fascinating field." For over two decades, Adolescent Psychiatry has
fulfilled this promise. The repository of a wealth of original
studies by preeminent clinicians, developmental researchers, and
social scientists specializing in this stage of life, the series
has become an essential resource for all mental health
practitioners working with youth. Volume 23 of The Annals begins
with the late Richard Marohn's reexamination of Peter Blos's
concept of "prolonged adolescence," followed by contributions on
the developmental roots of adolescent disturbances, the role of
family interactions in adolescent depression, the establishment of
a therapeutic alliance with adolescents, and the treatment of
narcissistically disordered adolescents. The assessment and
treatment of adolescent substance abuse and of psychosomatic and
depressive symptoms in adolescence receive timely consideration. In
a concluding section on "School-Based and Preventive Programs,"
contributors address a range of important issues, from adolescent
sex and AIDS, to the provision of mental health services in public
and private schools, to the need for school-based suicide
postvention programs. In summary, volume 23 shows adolescent
psychiatry to be as vital as ever, building on the clinical wisdom
of the past while responding to the urgent challenges of the day.
