On television, in the newspapers, even in textbooks of psychology,
the teen years are portrayed as 'bad news.' Adolescents are seen as
moody, rebellious, promiscuous, immature, aggressive and lazy.
Their behavior is seen as getting worse as we move into the twenty
first century. In fact the majority of young people have none of
these objectionable characteristics. Adolescents have always been
stigmatised as they are today as it is widely thought that it is
'natural' for the teens to be a 'difficult' phase of life. But it
is the adult world that has created the world of adolescence and
the adult world that is finding it difficult to live with what it
has manufactured.
This book puts forward an entirely new way of looking at
adolescence. Written by a leading child psychiatrist, it starts by
describing the myths that pervade the popular view of adolescence.
After a brief description of the history of adolescence, it goes on
to examine the way the teens actually function in families, giving
particular attention to approaches that result in positive
outcomes. Discussing moodiness, conflict, sexual behavior, drugs
and alcohol, and eating patterns, it adopts the same questioning
but positive approach. The book then looks at how the sense of
frustration and failure many teenagers experience at school and in
their neighborhoods might be overcome by giving them a level of
responsibility that matches their competence. This book will be of
great value to parents of teenagers and those whose children are
just about to become teenagers, as well as teachers, psychologists,
and anyone whose work brings them in touch with young people.
