Summary:

This book aims to provide students in courses in adolescent development with a selection of the original contributions of specialists who have created or expanded the knowledge of the field. The book is so designed that it can be used either as a basic textbook or in conjunction with another text. The topics and organization of this book follow closely those of the most widely used textbooks. The authors included are those repeatedly cited in the texts; here, however, their contributions are presented in original form. The book lends itself, therefore, to use as a basic textbook by those instructors who prefer having their students read original materials, and who, through their lectures and class discussions, elaborate and integrate the reading materials. On the other hand, when used with a text, this book eliminates the necessity of compiling lists of assignments for outside readings and simplifies the student's task of fulfilling these assignments--especially where library facilities are limited or course enrollments very large. For the convenience of both instructor and student, suggestions are given in pages x-xi, correlating the selections in this volume with the chapters of a number of well-known textbooks. These correlations are merely suggested; the instructor may, of course, wish to follow his own pattern of reading assignments. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
