Adolescence: Theory and Experience
This book is for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the adolescent experience. This was an unusual undertaking. This book was originally in 1976 when the senior author was the Associate Director of the Student Counseling Center at UCLA. It was written in collaboration with undergraduate students at UCLA who are listed as co-authors of the book. Dr. Dreyfus provided the theoretical and structural aspects of the book while the students provided the experiential aspects. It has been 35 years since the book first appeared. Many of the ideas presented in this volume are still relevant today. The book is written in a language that kids in high school and college will be able to understand and relate to. The topics covered were chosen by the students that were involved in the project. The book covers theory and empirical research as well as real world experience from a perspective of the students involved in writing the book. There is also a section on the various problems facing adolescents and the solutions to these problems. This book is a unique project that really gets to the heart of what it means and feels like to be an adolescent and is a great read for both parents and adolescents themselves.
Navigating adolescence as the parent or the adolescent can be a challenging time. With these real insights combined with theory and research, new perspective can be gained. What is so interesting is that the book also shows us that no matter how the world changes, there are core struggles we all face as adolescence that remain the same.
Sincerely,
Edward A. Dreyfus, Ph.D.
