Adolescent Psychology

Adolescent psychology is a branch of developmental psychology which focuses on adolescence, the transitional period of time between childhood and adulthood. The role of a psychologist in this field of study may be to study various stages of development or to assist adolescents during this period of physical and mental growth. Adolescence covers the period from puberty to the beginning of adulthood, roughly from age 12 to 18 or 19.

The resources on the right are arranged by type: general collection books, eBooks, journal articles, videos, and websites. They all relate to adolescent psychology in some way, though individual resources may cover more focused specializations.
