Adolescence Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book for a course I was taking in adolescent psychology. The book is well organized, and I enjoyed using it in the course. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that there were a few topics common to adolescents that I wanted more information on, and they were not included in the text. Otherwise, this is a fine book.

Adolescence Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)John Santrock's Adolescence provides readers with an easy-to-read, up-to-date textbook that adequately covers adolescent development within schools and at home. Current research and recent statistics accompany the subjects at hand, and fully encompass the physical, psychological, and socioemotional developments of students. Chapters include: Careers in Adolescent Development; Puberty, Health, and Biological Foundations; The Brain and Cognitive Development; The Self, Identity, Emotions, and Personality; Gender; Sexuality; Moral Development, Values, and Religion; Families; Peer and Romantic Relationships; Schools; Achievement, Work, and Careers; Culture; Problems in Adolescent and Emerging Adulthood. Certain sections have been expanded upon for the twelfth edition. The various subjects are not, of course, covered in depth, as this is meant to be a sweeping introduction to the field of adolescent psychology. However, it will arm readers with a better understanding and proper direction for further, more critical research.
