Handbook of Adolescent Health Risk Behavior (Issues in Clinical Child Psychology)

1 review

Springer, 1996

Megabook on adolescent risk behaviors
As a student I found the book to be loaded with facts and useful information. The flow of content was a bit disjointed due no doubt to the multiple authors. It is definitely not a "cheerful" book. Covers trends, theories and various problem behaviors such as tobacco use, suicide and homelessness. Even though it is a wonderful resource, it seems a bit dated in the fields of adolescent violence ...

Surprising Book
I bought this book to inform my daughter about the role of fantasy, especially violent fantasy games in young people's lives.

Even though the author is a bit suspect in that he is actually part of the entertainment industry, and responsible for his fair share of violent oriented comic books and cartoons, I have to ...

review from CA teen
Reading "The Sex Lives of Teenagers", I recognized my own fears about sex. It is the first book that has talked about it like it really is, bringing up not only the fun parts, but the tough spots that I myself have been in. This book honestly discusses pregnancy, masturbation and questions about being gay. It has been really helpful to me and I recommend it to other teens.
