From Publishers Weekly:
Parents who need assistance in determining whether an adolescent's problem behavior is transient or of a more serious nature will find this book reassuring and informative. Powell, a psychologist at the Harvard University Health Services, constructs a framework"zones of concern"of four descriptive categories of teenage behavior. Case studies presented are those representative of both temporary developmental difficulties, which fall within the range of "normal," and those that presage deep psychic disturbance. Powell advises parents to rely on common sense, to "be there" for their children (even when their offspring are beyond the teens), to accept with equanimity the bittersweet experience of parenting. Optimistic in tone, pragmatic in suggestions, this is a resource that adolescents as well as parents should find useful.
