Product Description
Product Description
This study elaborates the critique of five of the most important theorists addressing adolescent identity: Erik Erickson, Peter Blos, Lawrence Kohlberg, Jane Loevinger and Robert Kegan. The implications of each approach are discussed in both natural and clinical settings, with special emphasis given to new developments in the field including up-to-date coverage of key concepts, research and criticism stemming from each of the theoretical models. With its blend of theoretical insight and practical advice this work should appeal to psychologists, educators, youth workers, health professionals, parents and anyone attempting to understand and respond to the developing adolescent identity.

Format:Paperback
A fascinating insight into the theories around adolescent identity formation. Although Kroger's style of writing is difficult to deal with at first, once you have got past the first chapter, I found myself hooked into ideas of identity formation.
Not an easy read and needless to say this is was on my reading list for my Youth and Community Diploma, however I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This book requires your concentration. Not a book you can read on the bus or the train on the way to work! I also found it necessary to have a dictionary to hand as it is a fairly advanced reading text.
It requires YOU to apply the reading to your own work but once you have grasped the main concepts and theories the book puts forward, i found that it will impact my work with young people.

Well-written, well-researched overview of teenage identity
18 Feb 1997
Format:Paperback
An excellent, well-written, logical, well-researched discussion of the development of adolescent identity. Ms. Jane Kroger examines in her erudite book, Identity in Adolescence, the viewpoints of several prominent scholars in the field of adolescent psychology. These scholars include such notables as Erickson, Kohlberg, Loevinger, Kagan, and Blos. Each of these renowned academics represents adolescent identity growth with a groundbreaking model, which Ms. Kroger expertly critiques and shows its relationship to the other models. After finishing the book, readers will have a better understanding of how teens mature, how they come to see their roles and the roles of others. Additionally important, these readers will have learned about both the indicators of healthy, well-adjusted, achievement-oriented adolescence, and those indicators which suggest a more dysfunctional adolescence. This book is useful for anyone with a strong interest and concern about teens, be they scholars, teachers, or parents. Eric Seel
