| Publisher Description: The central thesis of Adolescent Psychological Development is that a more coherent picture of adolescence can come from a renewed focus on development. By reflecting carefully on what is meant by development and examining the literature with this in mind, one can identify major developmental changes associated with adolescence. The volume begins with an introduction to the concept of development and its relevance in adolescent psychology. The first three major parts address each of the three domains in turn - cognitive development, moral development, and identity formation - and the final section provides a more general account of advanced psychological development in adolescence and beyond. This is a text that is accessible to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and also useful to scholars, especially those interested in connections across standard topics and research programs in adolescence and in processes of developmental change. |
