Adolescent Vulnerabilities and Opportunities: Developmental and Constructivist Perspectives

ISBN: 9781107423602 出版年：2011 页码：230 Eric Amsel Judith Smetana Cambridge University Press

This book explores the central importance of adolescents' own activities in their development. This focus harkens back to Jean Piaget's genetic epistemology and provides a theoretically coherent vision of what makes adolescence a distinctive period of development, with unique opportunities and vulnerabilities. An interdisciplinary and international group of contributors explore how adolescents integrate neurological, cognitive, personal, interpersonal and social systems aspects of development into more organized systems.
