Fully updated to include the most recent research and
theoretical developments in the field, the third edition of
Identity in Adolescence examines the two way interaction of
individual and social context in the process of identity formation.
Setting the developmental tradition in context, Jane Kroger begins
by providing a brief overview of the theoretical approaches to
adolescent identity formation currently in use. This is followed by
a discussion of five developmental models which reflect a range of
attempts from the oldest to among the most recent efforts to
describe this process and include the work of Erik Erikson, Peter
Blos, Lawrence Kohlberg, Jane Loevinger, and Robert Kegan. Although
focussing on each theorist in turn, this volume also goes on to
compare and integrate the varied theoretical models and research
findings and sets out some of the practical implications for social
response to adolescents. Different social and cultural conditions
and their effect on the identity formation process are also covered
as are contemporary contextual, narrative, and postmodern
approaches to understanding and researching identity issues.
The book is ideal reading for students of adolescence, identity
and developmental psychology.
