Description: Adolescent Vulnerabilities and Opportunities by Eric Amsel Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book examines and reinvigorates interest in the core assumptions and features of a constructivist approach to the study of adolescent development. An interdisciplinary and international set of contributors highlights the importance of considering how adolescents coordinate different types of activities in their interactions and in development.
