Available To Downloads

For undergraduate courses in Adolescence and Adolescent Development   The Adolescent: Development, Relationships and Culture offers an eclectic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of adolescence, presenting both psychological and sociological viewpoints as well as educational, demographic, and economic data. This text discusses not just one theory on the subject, but many, and outlines the contributions, strengths, and weaknesses of each. The authors also take into consideration current and important topics such as ethnic identity formation, gender issues, the Internet, effects of single-parent families, etc.   The 13th edition of Dolgin is available with MyVirtualTeen! MyVirtualTeen (www.myvirtualteen.com) is an interactive simulation that allows you to raise a virtual child from birth to age 18 and monitor the effects of specific parenting decisions over time, with a specific focus on the teenage years.    Click here for a brief walkthrough video on MyVirtualTeen: www.youtube.com/pearsonpsych.  MyVirtualTeen is available to purchase with the textbook, or as a standalone product.

I have used this book as a supplemnent to taking a graduate level Adolescent psychology class. I also use this text to cover information not in an introductory or developmenatal psychology text in my classes. It's current (2011), and has a lot of valuable information to share with undergraduates as most of my students are emerging from adolencents to young adulthood, and this text supplements their reading and understanding of their development, forming relationships, and bringing into context the role of culture. Recommend.

Great book, lots of interesting and relevant info for people learning about adolescents. I love the book!

I really didn't care for this textbook. If you're a professor or instructor, PLEASE spare yourself and students the time and expense of using this text for your course. It seems to be written in a really simplistic manner, missing the mark on SEVERAL subjects. In my opinion, the author sounds like they need about 15 years of real-world experience before ever sitting down to write anything again!!

Came in a timely manner and was in excellent condition. Save me a lot of $$! It was the first time I had ever rented a book from and I would do it again in the future for other classes.

The book I received is very gook. The condition is great. This is a very good book. If a parent wants to understand his/her adolescent child, he/she should read this book.

The book was exactly as described. The book is in usable condition with very little damage. I am very pleased.

4 stars, because there were no writting on the book. It was easy for me to read and I like that.

I absolutely loved this book and I learned so much about adolescent psychology from this book.
