Summary:

"The aim of this edition is twofold. First, the book is designed to be of value both to adolescents and to those entrusted with the care and guidance of adolescents. This book may afford to teachers and parents a more appreciative view of adolescents and a fuller recognition of the importance of their transition from childhood to adulthood. The second aim of this book is to introduce the student to basic experimental studies, and thus lay the foundation for a critical appreciation of new studies that are constantly appearing. I have drawn heavily from recent scientific studies and current source materials. Thus youth activities in this country, surveys of various aspects of the life of adolescents, clinical studies of adolescents, and representative research studies from various sources are reviewed. The third edition has added new material relative to the needs of adolescents, the development of attitudes, heterosexuality, and youth problems today and tomorrow"--Preface.
