So I only read ch. 1, 2, 3 and 6, but I feel like I can positively say that this book gives a good overview of the important theories up until its publication relating to Adolescence. If it's heavy on the psych side of things and includes a little more emphasis on the possibilities of a pathological experience of adolescence than I like, I'm willing to believe that that's as much about what's out there as about Muuss's own ideas. Definitely useful, and easy to understand though I got really bored more than once.
