The Rich Kid Syndrome, by Steve Wolf, takes an original and
eye-opening perspective on modern adolescent behavior, addiction,
and family relations. Not taking anything away from contemporary
psychological or medical understandings of teenage acting-out
behaviors, author Wolf boldly goes where few psychologists,
sociologists, and drug counselors have gone to acquire a deeper
appreciation for why kids misbehave in their teen years. The Rich
Kid Syndrome grapples with the threats posed by middle-class
culture and the entitlement issues that can manifest in
contemporary adolescent conduct. Wolf posits that mental,
emotional, and judgmental attitudes stemming from middle-class,
"rich kid." lifestyles give rise to a fertile ground of toxic,
acting-out behaviors like drug addiction and improper risk-taking.
Written with families in mind, The Rich Kid Syndrome is a must read
for parents ready to throw in the towel, and for professionals who
end up with more questions than answers.
