In our "third chapters" we are beginning to redefine our views about the casualties and opportunities of aging.

"Emerging adulthood" (EA) describes a developmental period between adolescence and adulthood, typically spanning ages eighteen to twenty-nine.

This book should appeal to training and practicing clinicians working with young people, as well as young adults and parents who are interested in both the psychological challenges and therapeutic practices that can help.
