Adolescent, The: Development, Relationships, and Culture

by F. Philip Rice

In addition to setting the standard for adolescent psychology books since its first publication 20 years ago, this book continues to be the best and most comprehensive book in its subject area. The book emphasizes an eclectic approach to adolescence since it presents not just one theory on the subject but many, discussing the contributions, strengths, and weaknesses of each. Rice also takes into consideration current and important topics, such as relationships and the influence of culture. The result is a treatment of the adolescent that offers current scholarship as well as an understanding of what it means to be an adolescent in today's society. Psychologists, social workers, and therapists.

This book is okay. Yet another one that I only read half of, except I actually would've liked to be able to finish it. Part of the reason I didn't keep up with this one was because I took a Human Development class last year and so a lot of the material was the same, but in more depth. So when it came to priorities, this one was not at the top of my list. But it was definitely a'ight overall.

This book was very easy to read and maybe a little too elementary for college level students.
