Publisher's Synopsis
This volume offers new perspectives on key topics in adolescent identity formation. It addresses such issues as whether adolescents have a critical period for identity development and how much identity activity is needed in various life domains - for example, career and family - for `healthy′ adolescent development. The interdisciplinary contributions provide a thorough analysis of social, educational and clinical interventions which can be used to provide adolescents with better guidance about their life choices in this important period of development.
