The Adolescent: Development, Relationships, and Culture

by Kim Gale Dolgin

For undergraduate courses in Adolescence and Adolescent Development The Development, Relationships and Culture offers an eclectic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of adolescence, presenting both psychological and sociological viewpoints as well as educational, demographic, and economic data. This text discusses not just one theory on the subject, but many, and outlines the contributions, strengths, and weaknesses of each. The authors also take into consideration current and important topics such as ethnic identity formation, gender issues, the Internet, effects of single-parent families, etc. The 13th edition of Dolgin is available with MyVirtualTeen! MyVirtualTeen (www.myvirtualteen.com) is an interactive simulation that allows you to raise a virtual child from birth to age 18 and monitor the effects of specific parenting decisions over time, with a specific focus on the teenage years.

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.
