"Modern psychology interprets adolescence as a phase of an individual's continuing growth and development. Although there is no sharp demarcation between childhood and adolescence, or between adolescence and adulthood, each age period represents a specific stage in the total developmental and adjustment pattern. Moreover, differing environmental conditions and widening personal experiences require that the maturing individual gain increasing power to adapt himself to meet new situations. Adolescent attitudes and behavior differences, therefore, have their roots in childhood growth patterns and experiences. Adolescent Development and Adjustment deals with the developmental trends and the basic areas of adjustment during the teen-age years"--Preface.
