Description
This book is about, and for adolescence; when the quest for self-identity begins. It is also written for professionals, students and parents interested in understanding the developmental dynamics of adolescence towards self-discovery during a delicately prescribed timeframe in non-jargonized but in easy-conversational reading style. This book believes that to understand self-identity, we must look through the eyes of adolescence. The authors present the biopsychological and sociocultural perspectives to gain insights into self-identity by first understanding, the self. Basic theories and principles based on many pioneering and contemporary studies as to what, why and how these perspectives influence, shape and assist during adolescence are presented. Is the transition from childhood to adulthood truly so precarious full of 'stress and storm' of adolescence?
