The topic of adolescent development in Europe is one which has
received little academic attention in recent years. Developmental
Tasks in Adolescence makes an exciting contribution to the field by
applying socialisation theory to four major developmental tasks of
life: Qualifying, Bonding, Consumption and Participation, arguing
that if the tasks in these areas are mastered, then personal
individuation and social integration can take place, a prerequisite
for the formation of self-identity. In highly developed societies,
adolescence encompasses a period of about 15 years on average.
Puberty, or the transition from childhood, starts earlier and
earlier, and the transition to adulthood is increasingly postponed.
Developmental Tasks in Adolescence proposes that the way in which
adolescents master the tasks of everyday life has become a pattern
of orientation for the life stages which follow because of the new
lifestyle requirements that are typical for modern democratic
societies. Today, a life full of uncertainties and ambiguities is
no longer limited to adolescence, but rather continues into
adulthood. Hurrelmann and Quenzel's sociological approach is
valuable reading for students and academics in psychology,
sociology, education, social work and youth studies, and for those
on professional training courses in these fields.
