"Overall, this book gives great detail on adolescentparent relationships and how they effect the development ofchildren . . . This is a comforting message, one very differentfrom popular accounts, and one that parents and adolescents wouldbenefit from appreciating" (Journal of Youth &Adolescence, 5 December 2012)"Few scholars have influenced the contemporary study ofadolescent-parent relationships as much as Judith Smetana. Ihighly recommend this book to anyone interested in the ways inwhich family relationships are transformed during this stage oflife." --Laurence Steinberg, Temple University "In this very thoughtful book Judith Smetana provides deepand insightful understandings of adolescence. Smetana masterfullypositions adolescence in explanations of difficulties anddevelopmental progress during these years.
