Puberty, or the transition from childhood, starts earlier and earlier, and the transition to adulthood is increasingly postponed. \u003ci\u003eDevelopmental Tasks in Adolescence \u003c\/i\u003eproposes that the way in which adolescents master the tasks of everyday life has become a pattern of orientation for the life stages which follow because of the new lifestyle requirements that are typical for modern democratic societies. Today, a life full of uncertainties and ambiguities is no longer limited to adolescence, but rather continues into adulthood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHurrelmann and Quenzel's sociological approach\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eis valuable reading for students and academics in psychology, sociology, education, social work and youth studies, and for those on professional training courses in these fields. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45239216406679,"sku":"9781138322424","price":12987.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138322424.webp?v=1769221974","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/developmental-tasks-in-adolescence-9781138322424","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
