Handbook of Adolescent Development fills a gap in the literature on
adolescent development and behaviour: all of the authors of the
various chapters were invited to include as many findings on
European adolescents as possible. Through this specific emphasis,
the handbook provides a complement to other reviews of the
literature that are mostly based on North American samples. The
contributors are all eminent researchers in the field and the
individual chapters cover their specific areas of expertise.
Theories of adolescence, along with emotional, physical and
cognitive issues, are explored. Topics covered include families,
peer relations, school and leisure time, as well as problem areas
such as depression, drug consumption and delinquency. Handbook of
Adolescent Development also incorporates a comprehensive review of
the literature in the area and considers avenues for future
research. This multidisciplinary text will be of interest to those
studying and researching in the fields of developmental psychology,
sociology, demography, epidemiology and criminology.
This book explores the development of a new path of transition
between adolescence and adulthood in recent generations. Whereas
traditionally the transition into adulthood was marked by a clear
and irreversible change in condition, we are now seeing a
continuance in the role and influence of the family on the young
adult. What consequences does this have for our society? Is the
persistence of emotional bonds which previously loosened during
adolescence, inhibiting young people from developing into full
adulthood? The authors present a clear and in-depth analysis of the
theoretical framework surrounding the transition into adulthood
both from a generational point of view and a relationship-centred
perspective. The findings of international research are presented
and compared across generations, gender and geographical location
within Europe. The different research methods of 'family related
research' and 'family research' are also distinguished and
analysed. This volume offers an original and multi-faceted review
of this topic. The family is considered as an organization, and the
interdependencies and interconnections between its members, the
generations and genders investigated. It offers a unique
contribution to the current literature and will appeal to an
international audience of researchers, policy makers and educators
both in academic and professional spheres.

Self-concept and coping behaviour are important aspects of
development in adolescence. Despite their developmental
significance, however, the two areas have rarely been considered in
relation to each other. This book is the first in which the two
areas are brought together; it suggests that this interaction can
open the way to new possibilities for further research and to new
implications for applied work with adolescents. Two separate
chapters review research carried out in each of the areas. These
are followed by a series of more empirically focussed chapters in
which issues such as changes in relationship patterns, difficult
school situations, leaving school, use of leisure, anxiety and
suicidal behaviour are examined in the context of self-concept and
coping. The final chapter seeks to identify some of the central
themes emerging from this work and discusses possible research and
applied implications.
