Description
Summary:Reviews the book, Adolescent Development in the Family. New Directions for Child Development, No. 22, December 1983 by Harold D. Grotevant and Catherine R. Cooper (Eds.) (1983). This edited volume presents the findings of five research programs studying child-family interactions. The subjects are parents and their children, who range in age from young adolescence to young adulthood. Most contributors present the initial findings of longitudinal investigations. This volume should be of interest to those who grapple with how to conceptualize and assess individual development within the larger social matrix of the family and society. Family functioning was typically assessed by coding communication styles while members of the family resolved differences. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
