Adolescence by John W. Santrock

4.0

Thoughtful survey on the critical developmental period known as adolescence. Santrock consistently keeps a positive view of this key period in life and successfully characterizes innumerable factors that play a role in the types of behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs that shape individuals.

As a general overview and an introduction to the psychology of adolescence, the textbook cohesively provides an excellent perspective for new students of the field.
