Adolescence
From
its beginning in 1957, this committee has focused on an
intensive study of the adolescent process itself, from the
perspective of the three determinants universal for all
ages; biology, culture, and psychology.
It has produced four reports: Normal Adolescence,
Power and Authority in Adolescence, Adolescent Pregnancy
and Adolescent Suicide.
The committee is concerned with structures that
foster and those that inhibit successful adolescent
development.
The last two reports have been subsumed under the
heading Crisis of Adolescence.
This title reflects the concern of the committee
that today’s adolescents are threatened by factors that
impede normal development. |
