Review for the original edition:

‘This study makes several contributions to the field: first, drawing on personal statements of more that 5000 subjects, it provides empirical evidence to describe the problems and coping of adolescents; second, a unique outcome is provided by the implications drawn for preparing counsellors and counselling psychologists to assist diverse populations; third, the methodology used grounds the data in the social and cultural milieu of the populations being studied… This study has moved us toward the development of a knowledge base and thus a framework for understanding this segment of the world’s population.’ – Thomas J. Labelle, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs and Research, University of West Virginia
