  The first edition of The Nature of Adolescence established itself as one of the leading textbooks in the field. In the second edition, John Coleman and Leo Hendry have thoroughly revised and updated all the material. They have added new emphasis to such areas as female adolescent development, and to the increasingly important lifespan developmental theory. New evidence now available on the effects of parental separation or divorce on teenagers has been taken into account. Finally, there is a wholly new chapter on the issues of work, unemployment, and leisure - and essential part of any text on adolescence today. This second edition will undoubtedly be welcomed by all those whose work or swtudy involves them in an understanding of young people.

  Written for all those working with young people, this text has been revised and updated to take account of the many changes that have occurred during the 1990s. Alongside new research, social attitudes and debates have changed, with adolescent homelessness, crime, unemployment, drug abuse and school exclusions stealing the headlines. This 3rd edition combines research reviews with comments on policy and practice and includes textbook features, which should make it accessible to a wide range of students and professionals.
