Adolescence can be a difficult time for all concerned. Issues such
as high youth unemployment, sexual behaviour and drug abuse have
made it a matter of great concern for the community at large,
whether as parents, politicians or those working with adolescents
in education and welfare. In addition, many parents fear that these
problems could affect their own families. Originally published in
1991, the authors explore the complex needs of adolescents
emphasising the importance of the family environment in helping
adolescents cope with the many difficulties and changes they face
during this period of their lives. The central theme is that
adolescents, through conflict and negotiation, establish new but
different relationships with their parents, relationships that can
endure for a lifetime. The authors provide wide coverage of the key
issues of adolescence, such as identity, separation from the
family, and conflict, and look closely at the difficulties produced
by events such as the divorce and re-marriage of parents, and
social problems such as long-term unemployment. With its positive
approach to the family and adolescents, this clear, concise and
helpful book will be invaluable both to parents and to the many
professionals whose work involves them with adolescents.
