Fears, Neuroses, and Joys of Adolescents

Yosef Golman – a practicing crisis and clinical psychologist, educational psychologist. His books are engaging, multifaceted, and always useful for readers. In discussing adolescents, he employs not only professional knowledge and skills but also personal parental experience raising four children.... By the way, their funny and candid stories about this are also included in the book. So, this "terrible" yet wonderful adolescent age. All parents have faced the situation when their predictable and understandable child becomes literally unrecognizable within a few months. No wonder: an adolescent is seeking a new (optimal, in their view) position in society, while experiencing a powerful hormonal overhaul of the entire body. So what is it? A hard, albeit normative, crisis or still a period of great opportunities? What systems govern the adolescent psyche and how can we help it? How to timely – if necessary – raise the alarm, and how to choose a psychologist and a doctor? How to go through the path of growing up alongside your adolescent? And, most importantly, how to teach them the joy of life? All of this is covered in the book – a true navigator in adolescent psychology. It will help guide you and your child into a world of healthy and happy living.
