The twenty years since the publication of Psychological Disturbance
in Adolescence has witnessed enormous growth in our understanding
of developmental psychopathology in adolescence. At the same time
many inroads have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of
psychological disturbance occurring in adolescence. As a
consequence, this book, while following the original format of its
highly successful predecessor, has been largely rewritten to
reflect those changes and to insure that it retain its place as the
preeminent text and professional reference. Summarizing this latest
edition of Psychological Disturbance in Adolescence, Irving B.
Weiner has said that: "This book is not about theory, although
contemporary conceptual issues in developmental psychopathology are
discussed throughout. This book is not about research, although
available empirical data bearing on the topics being considered are
presented throughout. What this book is about is how clinicians can
do the best possible job of recognizing abnormal psychological
development in an adolescent, identifying what kind of disturbance
is present, and selecting effective methods of helping the young
person overcome the problem". As in the earlier edition, the first
two chapters offer a detailed survey of current theoretical issues
in adolescent psychology, normality, abnormality in adolescence,
and patterns of adolescent psychopathology. Also covered in these
chapters are key issues of assessment, classification, and
epidemiology. The remainder of the book, with the exception of the
last chapter, is organized from the perspective of the practicing
clinician and consists of chapters covering problems in adolescent
patients, includingschizophrenia, depression and suicide, school
phobia, delinquent behavior, substance abuse, and more. The final
chapter of Psychological Disturbance in Adolescence, Second Edition
illustrates the principles of psychotherapy with disturbed
adolescents. The discussion considers the goals of adolescent
psychotherapy; aspects of initiating, building, and terminating the
treatment; and the role of the parents in the psychotherapeutic
process. Thoroughly updated to reflect contemporary practice and
theory, this classic work in the field of adolescent psychology is
an indispensable addition to the reference library of every
practicing clinician. It is also an excellent graduate-level text
for students of clinical and abnormal psychology.
