Reviews
The authors take an inter-disciplinary approach to describe the developmental tasks young people face in present-day Western societies, and how mastering them - or not - has repercussions for the rest of their lives. Development is not seen as an unfolding of personality, but as an active process, in which internal and external factors interact. With its highly structured content, the book becomes a kind of magnet that could attract social scientists, and those from other disciplines, towards better cohesive, collaborative, future action. Dr. paed. Marion Kloep, Professor Glamorgan University, Wales (retired) Leo B. Hendry, PhD, DLitt., FBPS, Emeritus Professor, University of Aberdeen, Scotland
