Publisher Synopsis
'The book emphasizes the importance of using culturally appropriate research methods when researching human development. the goal of promoting understanding of adolescence in a global context is well met. The book will enrich several disciplines, some of which include human development, anthropology and cross-cultural studies.' Journal of Adolescence '... the book is a mine of information ... the common structure for each chapter is immensely helpful for readers to compare and contrast as they work through material from eight different 'regions'. Youth & Policy 'In my opinion, this book should be included in the readings of every researcher and student interested in adolescent development.' International Journal of Behavioural Development '... a welcome contribution towards highlighting the need to study this vital segment of the population. it will prove of help to many professionals working in the mental health field including psychologists, social workers and health planners. It will also benefit educationalists, human resource and community developers as well as those involved in the current cultural and political discourse.' European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Read more...
