The Social Psychology of Adolescence by Patrick Heaven
How does the family influence adolescent behaviour? The Social Psychology of Adolescence introduces and reviews major themes in adolescent development, including such topics as sexuality and the risk of HIV/AIDS, school life, teenagers in the work place, mental health issues, and others.
'..an accessible and lucid compendium of current research on the social development of young people in their second decade of life...the text is well written in a style that helps to break down the jargon-oriented theoretical terms used in many social psychological approaches...it does this without becoming excessively lightweight.' - Martin Hagger, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
PATRICK HEAVEN is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Wollongong, Australia.
