Puberty is a time of tumultuous transition from childhood to
adulthood activated by rapid physical changes, hormonal development
and explosive activity of neurons. This book explores puberty
through the parent-teenager relationship, as a "normal state of
crisis", lasting several years and with the teenager oscillating
between childlike tendencies and their desire to become an adult.
The more parents succeed in recognizing and experiencing these new
challenges as an integral, ineluctable emotional transformative
process, the more they can allow their children to become
independent. In addition, parents who can also see this crisis as a
chance for their own further development will be ultimately
enriched by this painful process. They can face up to their own
aging as they take leave of youth with its myriad possibilities,
accepting and working through a newfound rivalry with their
sexually mature children, thus experiencing a process of maturity,
which in turn can set an example for their children. This book is
based on rich clinical observations from international settings,
unique within the field, and there is an emphasis placed by the
author on the role of the body in self-awareness, identity crises
and gender construction. It will be of great interest to
psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, parents and carers, as well as
all those interacting with adolescents in self, family and society.
