The fourth edition of this successful textbook provides an
up-to-date introduction to all of the key features of adolescent
development. While drawing on the North American literature on
adolescence, it highlights European perspectives and also provides
unique coverage of the topic by summarising and reviewing what is
known about adolescence from a British viewpoint. Comprehensively
updated and rewritten, this edition includes material on new topics
such as: The development of the adolescent brain Sleep patterns in
adolescence Parenting programmes for parents of teenagers Health,
including sport and exercise, nutrition and obesity, and mental
health Education and schooling Young people's use of digital
technologies New approaches to resilience and coping. The book
places a particular emphasis on a positive view of adolescence, and
the author develops a new theoretical perspective which looks at
how young people themselves construct and shape their own
developmental pathways. Interview material taken from discussions
with adolescents is included throughout the book, and there are
sample essay questions and PowerPoint lecture slides available
online. This is an essential text for anyone studying human
development at undergraduate and postgraduate level, as well as on
postgraduate courses for professionals including teachers, social
workers, health workers, counsellors, and youth workers.
