The transition to adulthood involves, for most individuals,
moving from school to work, establishment of long-term
relationships, possibly parenting, and a number of other
psychosocial transformations. Now more than ever, there is a
concern within popular and research literature about children
growing up too soon or too late or failing to realize changes
associated with being adult. With this in mind, the book intends to
answer a series of timely questions in regard to transition to
adulthood and propose a wholly new approach to counseling that
enables youth to engage fully in their lives and achieve their
best.
Active Transition to Adulthood: A New Approach for Counseling
will discuss the authors' work on the transition to adulthood
(including early and late adolescence) from an entirely innovative
perspective - action theory. Over a period of 10-15 years the
authors have collected substantial data on adolescents and youth in
transition, and will present an approach to counseling based on
these data and cases. The action theory perspective in which the
authors have grounded their work addresses the intentional,
goal-directed behavior of persons and groups that is expressed
through particular actions, longer-term projects, and
life-encompassing careers. In this book, both transition to
adulthood and counseling will be covered in the language of
goal-directed action. In this way both transition and counseling
reflect and capture the action, projects, and careers in which
families, youth, and clients are engaged and use to construct
on-going identity and other narratives."
