Features:

• A multicultural approach makes this book both unique and relevant to a diverse undergraduate population, as students read about the development of lives both similar to and quite dissimilar from their own.
• Six New Cases, including new cases highlighting racial and ethnic identity, enable a deeper understanding of the issues.
• New follow-up reflections, written by the original case writers several years after they wrote the original, keep the book current and up-to-date while also helping students understand adolescence as a stage in the life cycle.
