Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
The paper promotes a critical study of theories specific to the developmental stage of adolescence. It introduces theories of adolescence that have been promoted by a range of theorists over time, and considers how these may be socially and culturally constructed. Current discourses about adolescence - and how these may shape identity and behaviour - are also explored.
