The Adolescent Experience, 4E places the college student at the very heart of the book. The authors engage in a dialogue with the reader that is warm, caring, and often humorous as they write and share material about this time of life. The authors emphasize the role that development
and society play in the lives of young people. The book has a solid research basis with a historical and multicultural focus. But most importantly, the book is practical and includes the strongest preventative/health material available in any basic undergraduate adolescent psychology text currently available.
