Biography

John G. Borkowski, Jaelyn R. Farris, Thomas L. Whitman, Shannon S. Carothers, Keri Weed

“This volume offers an outstanding example of methodologically sophisticated, theory-driven, developmentally informed, longitudinal research…it is a model for other studies to emulate…I urge readers to relish the richness of this volume, and to savor the important new knowledge to be gained about pathways to a more resilient set of outcomes for us all.” - Marsha Seltzer, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin/Madison, USA

"Borkowski and colleagues' current text, Risk and Resilience: Adolescent Mothers and Their Children Grow Up... offers up interesting and thought-provoking questions and answers regarding what exactly happens to adolescent mothers and their children when they grow up. This is certainly a timely issue... This book would be an excellent addition to any undergraduate class on developmental psychology and would me especially welcome in graduate-level classes in psychology, sociology, and public policy." - F. Richard Ferraro, PsycCRITIQUES
