The Psychology of the Adolescent

This is a well established fact that every individual has to pass through various stages of life right from his infancy to man hood. An adolescent is neither a child nor a mature person. He has left his infancy, but he has yet to take up his position as a mature person in the society. He has his own problems. Parents of adolescents being themselves engrossed with the special problems of maturity, reproduction the building up of economic security, competition for repulation, the conservation of health, care of the young, care of the old and so forth realise, but dimly the adjustments through which the boy or the girl in the teens is passing. The problem of the latter may seem trivial, unnecessary in comprehensible to the mature person, who has either forgotten his own early youth or has thought of his vaguely remembered experience as unique. The book will be found to be of immense use to parents, teachers, educational planners and other Governmental agencies engaged in the task of youth welfare.
