If college is supposed to be the best time of our lives, why are
so many students unhappy? What causes a well-adjusted and
academically successful high school graduate to suddenly flounder
when he reaches college? Why might she start to skip classes, binge
on alcohol, or engage in unsatisfying hook-ups? Where does the
anger and self-doubt come from, and why is it directed at loving
parents or the student himself? Drawing on years of experience
treating college-age youth, David Leibow, M.D. provides fresh,
honest, and realistic answers to these and other important
questions.
Instead of adventure, liberation, and a triumphant march into
adulthood, many college students experience shame, regression, and
social and academic failure. Yet by understanding themselves better
and making reasonable changes, students can grow from these
challenges and turn bad choices into wiser personal and educational
decisions. Leibow focuses on issues common to college
settings-anxiety and depression, drug and alcohol abuse, laziness
and work avoidance, body-image problems, and unhealthy
relationships-detailing coping strategies and professional
resources that best respond to each crisis. His intimate knowledge
of campus life and its unique challenges adds credibility and
weight to his advice. Reorienting the expectations of parents and
students while providing the tools for overcoming a variety of
hurdles, Leibow shows how college can still become one of the best
times of our lives.
