Disadvantaged Post-Adolescents Approaches to Education and Rehabilitation
Originally published in 1983, this book elucidates the urgent problems of disadvantaged and delinquency-prone post-adolescents at the time by providing a comprehensive theoretical framework and a pragmatic outlook based on recent rehabilitation experiments.
This analysis of post-adolescent psychodynamics focuses on specific issues which had previously received little attention and also deals with traditional topics such as cognitive and psychosocial development during the second decade of life.
