| Summary |
"Violence, war, divorce, drugs, and media pressures comprise everyday reality for many young people growing up in the last years of the millennium." "Much has been written about adult coping strategies, but relatively little about the development of coping skills in children and adolescents. This volume rectifies that situation, bringing together for the first time an international group of experts to discuss the ways in which young people learn to cope in the three main contexts of their lives - the family, the school, and the community. As well as providing a much needed theoretical framework for work in this area, practical applications and programmes are evaluated, providing invaluable guidance to what works and what doesn't. Learning to Cope is essential reading for developmental psychologists, social scientists, educators, and those involved in child welfare."--BOOK JACKET |
