This book deals with ways of helping families cope with the
difficulty of rais ing adolescents. Professional social workers -
along with other human ser vice professionals - encounter these
families in numerous settings: child welfare and family service
agencies, hospitals, schools, community mental health clinics,
residential treatment centers, juvenile halls and detention
centers, recreational and vocational training organizations, and
many others. While families from all walks of life may be found in
these settings, families who have suffered the additional stresses
of poverty, discrimination, and the consequences of physical and
mental illness are commonly overrepresented. Even under the best of
circumstances, the adolescent years often put the strongest family
structures to the test - sometimes to the breaking point. A recent
national study of over one thousand average, middle-income, two
parent families reviewed the strengths, stresses, and satisfactions
of the family life cycle (Olson and McCubbin 1983). As many would
expect, families with adolescents were found to experience more
stress and lower levels of family adaptability, cohesion, and
marital and family satisfaction than any other developmental stage.
The families with adolescents who fared best were those with such
marital resources as good communication and conflict resolution
skills, satisfying sexual relations, and good parent-adolescent
communication."
