The most distinctive feature of the Second Edition is its
theoretical orientation coupled with a focus on understanding
emerging and young adulthood from multiple perspectives. The
updated and expanded book offers readers an opportunity to "listen
to the voices" of emerging and young adults, parents, and
employers, which is key to understanding this particular
developmental period. In addition, the case studies provided
throughout the book are diverse and detailed. The issues of
emerging adulthood are complicated, nuanced, and defy easy
characterizations. This book provides an opportunity to debunk many
established pernicious stereotypes about emerging and young adults.
The presentation of diverse voices and case material serves as a
springboard for discussion and engages readers with material
depicting emerging adults in the throes of working through
developmental challenges characteristic of this period. In
addition, the recent economic downturn has created havoc and
further instability in the lives of emerging and young adults. The
Second Edition focuses on the effects of - as well as possible
solutions to - unemployment on emerging and young adults. A new
chapter focuses on career experimentation versus career
floundering, which is an important distinction. Additional new
chapters address the effects of technology as well as depression
and anxiety on emerging and young adults. The Second Edition
examines emerging and young adulthood within a larger developmental
and ecological context. In addition, it ensures that readers are
well positioned to understand how the developmental demands of this
period intersect with current economic, social, and political
realities. It is a must-have resource for developmental, clinical
child and school psychologists, rehabilitation counselors and
therapists, I/O psychologists, and sociologists as well as for
researchers and graduate-level students across these various
disciplines.
