Although not as good as her invaluable book on early childhood, Louise Kaplan's Adolescence is an excellent, insightful and easy to read guide to the psychological journeys of adolescence. Dr. Margaret Mahler said of it: "A brilliant, original and most provocative treatise on the crucial phase of human development.......a fascinating, poetic and encompassing chronicle of the most enigmatic period of human history." For anyone seeking to understand their own teenager, or come to terms with their unfinished tasks of adolescence.
