About this Item

"Adolescents: Behavior and Development" by Boyd R. McCandless. Published in 1970. "Adolescents are no longer children, nor are they adults. A psychology of adolescence must be partly a motivational psychology and partly a psychology of change. It is a motivational psychology because a new drive - the reproduction, or sex, drive - has emerged in mature form, and it is the first new drive which the average individual has had to socialize since his preschool years. A psychology of adolescence is a psychology of change because the individual is moving from childhood to his adult role in society. Adolescence is startling because the adolescent must adjust to striking changes in his own body, in his social role, and in society's attitude toward him." Book is in Good condition. A good amount of wear/staining on the book covers. Corners are quite bumped/split. Interior is in Good condition, but there is a lot of highlighting/underlining/pencil marks.
