Your Adolescent is a wonderful book from the trusted professionals at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. It includes information on normal development, developmental milestones, physical, behavioral and emotional growth.

Another major section has advice on simple day to day problem behaviors that all parents will encounter, including problems at home and in school.

The last section has information on more serious problems, such as behavioral and emotional disorders, substance abuse, eating disorders, and psychotic disorders.

All of the advice and information will help you raise a happy and healthy teenager. The book is well written and easy to read and makes a handy reference book. It also includes an appendix with information on medicines used in psychiatry, a discussion of tests used in diagnosing problems in adolescents and it has a glossary of common medical terms.

Overall, I highly recommended this book to all parents of adolescents.

This is a wonderful resource for parents and others working with adolescents. Clear and concise information is provided about normal and abnormal social, emotional, and behavioral development of the adolescent. Advise is given for understanding and dealing with behaviors.

We were dealing with a near-teen child who rarely talks to us and after reading this book and it's counterpart, we have gotten her to open up and talk to us constantly. No parent should be without this book.

very interesting book helped me immensley understanding how to approach my teenage son regarding topics which are quite sensitive for him,

We can never know enough about teens. I thought I was through but in raising a grandchild I am again facing teenagers of a different generation. Good Source of information/ideas

After searching for years for more info about my son, I found much that was very beneficial in addressing his condition. We've now been put in contact with an excellent center, where he will be properly diagnosed and have therapies offered to him.
