Beschreibung:
The condition known as 'adolescence' is largely an artefact of advance industrial societies. How do those labelled as 'adolescent' conduct their everyday lives, and what are their values? First published in 1980, this book seeks to provide some answers, amplified with a great deal of illustrative material, and many detailed observations.
