  Adolescence can be a difficult time for all concerned. Issues such as youth employment, sexual behaviour and drug abuse have made it a matter of great concern to the community at large, whether as parents, politicians or those working with adolescents in education and welfare. Patricia Noller and Victor Callan explore the complex needs of adolescents, emphasizing the importance of the family environment in helping adolescents to cope with the many difficulties and changes they face during this period of their lives. The central theme of this book is that adolescents, through conflict and negotiation, estalish new and different relationships with their parents.
