SUMMARY

The teenage years, according to popular culture, are a time of experimentation and risktaking. Certainly, all young people have a number of transitions to negotiate and some who face adversity are more vulnerable during this time than at others. Despite this, many young people do exceptionally well, even though the odds are stacked against them. In this volume, Ann Hagell and John Coleman have gathered together internationally renowned experts to consider a range of disadvantages that may impact on adolescents, and suggest ways to help overcome them. Adolescence, Risk and Resilience is concerned with demonstrating a positive approach to young people and their circumstances, and shows how the concepts of risk and resilience are related. Contributors examine a range of issues including: families and the risks they pose, mental ill-health, offending behaviour, sexual risk, disability, being in care, and social exclusion. All students and practitioners working with adolescents will find this up to date and thorough review invaluable, but especially in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and social work. Contributors: John Coleman, Nick Frost, Ann Hagell, Robert MacDonald, Sue Mills, Catherine O'Brien, Jennifer Pearce, Jacqueline Scott, Kirsten Stalker, Panos Vostanis.Coleman, John is the author of 'Adolescence and Health ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780470092064 and ISBN 0470092068.
