The period of adolescence involves growth, adaptation, and
dramatic reorganization in almost every aspect of social and
psychological development. The Encyclopedia of Adolescence offers
an exhaustive and comprehensive review of current theory and
research findings pertaining to this critical decade of life
Leading scientists offer accessible and easily readable reviews
of biological, social, educational, occupational, and cultural
factors that shape adolescent development. Issues in normative
development, individual differences, and
psychopathology/maladjustment are reviewed. Over 130 chapters are
included, each covering a specific aspect or issue of
adolescence. The chapters trace differences in the course of
adolescence in different nations and among youth with different
backgrounds
The encyclopedia brings together cross-disciplinary contributors
including academic researchers, biologists, psychiatrists
sociologists, anthropologists and public policy experts, and will
include authors from around the world. Each article features an
in-depth analysis of current information on the topic, along with
a glossary, suggested readings for further information, and
cross-references to related encyclopedia articles. The volumes
