Book SynopsisThis book explores young Cambodians' perceptions of their place in today's society and how they interact with the country's arts and culture scene. The popularity of Cambodian hip-hop among youth presents an opportunity for research to dive deeper into the roles of popular music in society and how these roles, in turn, shape Cambodian cultural identities.Research on the above-mentioned topic by local researchers is scarce. There is a gap in the research on the topic of identity, its connection to arts and culture, and how these two are positioned in a broader context of Cambodian identity politics and cultural economy. This book aims to provide a starting point for observation and conversation about youth cultural identities and the subtexts of certain narratives disseminated through music. The book contributes to the global research agenda by adding to the few voices in academia looking at localised models of cultural economies and trying to understand them based on local phTable of Contents1 Introduction 2 The Ecosystem of Cambodia’s arts and culture 3 Young Cambodians, cultural identities, and generational differences 4 Music and its reinterpretation in current discourse 5 Connecting the dots: A juncture of identity, youth, culture, tradition, and modernity

Book SynopsisIn the classic edition of this outstanding book, originally published in 1998, Richard Frankel explores adolescence as a crucial, unique, and turbulent period of human development. He provides guidance for clinicians working with young people as they undergo significant transformations in the way they think, act, feel, and perceive the world.The book addresses how the disruptions manifest in adolescent behavior are upsetting and often incomprehensible to the adults surrounding them. It seeks to revision the traumas, extreme fantasies, testing of limits, etc., so endemic to this period of life through the lens of the urge toward self-realization. This allows for new and creative ways of working with the intensely confusing, and often extreme, countertransference feelings that arise in our encounter with adolescents. It offers ways of reflecting upon the vicissitudes of our own experience of being an adolescent that helps to unlock the typical impasses that occur in the stand-oTrade Review'Richard Frankel helps the reader explore the archetypal dynamics particular to adolescence. Through clinical vignette he is able to tutor us in the kind of insight and therapeutic presence that can make a real difference to the adolescents we work with'Mary Watkins, Pacifica Graduate Institute, USA'The Adolescent Pscyhe is a welcome addition to contemporary Jungian literature. Frankel weaves concepts from Jung, Hillman, Winnicott and others to give us important new understandings and ways of viewing and working with adolescents.

Book SynopsisEducators as First Responders is a comprehensive, hands-on guide to adolescent development and mental health for teachers and other educators of students in grades 6-12. Today's schools are at the forefront of supporting adolescents with increasingly complex, challenging psychosocial needs. Moreover, students are more likely to seek out a trusted teacher, advisor, or coach for support than to confide directly in a parent or even a school counselor. Succinct and accessible, this book provides tips and strategies that teachers, coaches, nurses, counselors, and other school professionals can put into immediate use with students in varying degrees of distress. These evidence-based practices and real-world classroom examples will help you understand the whole student, a developing individual shaped not just by parental pressure or psychiatric diagnosis but by school and broader cultural and systemic forces. Trade Review"This is a relevant, current, and timely resource for educators at a moment when supporting the mental and emotional health of adolescents is increasingly and critically urgent! Dr. Offner shares her deep understanding of adolescents and of schools with a distinctly engaging book that provides essential insights, compelling stories, provocative questions, and practical advice for teachers to develop their skills for supporting students and to advocate for improved school culture and policy. A must-read."—Karen Lassey, Ed.D., Assistant Principal at Phillips Exeter Academy, New Hampshire"Deborah Offner has written an important, useful book to help every teacher deal with the psychological storms that sweep through their classrooms. Her clinical wisdom and practical guidance are developmentally sound and totally on target, and her clear writing and vivid examples will be recognized by every teacher. If educators only read one book to help prepare them to aid struggling adolescents, it should be Educators as First Responders."—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., New York Times Bestselling Author and International Speaker and School Consultant"Educators as First Responders provides us with keen insights and practical ways to navigate and address the conflicting currents evident among adolescents today. Dr. Offner’s years of clinical and hands-on experience shines as she guides the reader through topics such as the development of students’ identities, the effects of stress, academic rigor, and technology-influenced social relationships. Dr. Offner’s care and commitment to supporting educators is demonstrated through her masterful yet easy-to-read use of language and anecdotes that engage our minds and speak to our hearts."—Jennifer Peck-Nolte, School Counselor at Princeton Day School, New Jersey "From the outset, Deborah Offner centers her work around the most overlooked and critical parts of our jobs as educators: our relationships with and responses to our students’ social and emotional needs. While we educators know that our students’ well-being is in our hands, we also know that our ability to help a student who reaches out to us in crisis depends on the effectiveness of our response. This is what causes many educators the greatest amount of angst and handwringing, because, as Dr. Offner asserts, we ‘are not trained for this!’Finally, we have a book from a renowned clinical psychologist and school consultant with over twenty years of experience who provides educators with an accessible guide to adolescent development and mental health. Not only does Dr. Offner offer a solid foundation for understanding the adolescent brain, but she also includes scenarios between teachers and students that play out in classrooms every day in order to provide tips and skills that will build teacher confidence and competence and ensure positive outcomes for our students.Now, more than ever, this book fills a void and provides much-needed guidance for educators to respond effectively to students’ myriad social and emotional needs. In acknowledging educators as first responders, Dr. Offner’s book directly addresses the adolescent mental health crisis by equipping school staff with the necessary toolkit to help our students thrive."—Jenny Robertson, English teacher at Newton South High School, MassachusettsTable of ContentsSection I: Educators and Adolescents 1.

Book SynopsisWith an eye to the playful, reflexive, self-conscious ways in which global youth engage with each other online, this volume analyzes user-generated data from these interactions to show how communication technologies and multilingual resources are deployed to project local as well as trans-local orientations. With examples from a range of multilingual settings, each author explores how youth exploit the creative, heteroglossic potential of their linguistic repertoires, from rudimentary attempts to engage with others in a second language to hybrid multilingual practices. Often, their linguistic, orthographic, and stylistic choices challenge linguistic purity and prescriptive correctness, yet, in other cases, their utterances constitute language policing, linking ''standardness'' or ''correctness'' to piety, trans-local affiliation, or national belonging. Written for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in linguistics, applied linguistics, education and media and communiTrade Review'A compelling collection of work! The editors have assembled a comprehensive set of studies that covers a wide range of digital platforms, languages, and regional contexts. The ethnographic approach adopted throughout the chapters reveals rich details about linguistic creativity and diversity in digital communication and makes an important contribution to a number of areas including sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, internet linguistics, and media research at large.' Carmen Lee, Chinese University of Hong Kong'Multilingual Youth Practices in Computer Mediated Communication is unique in that it takes established linguistic methods from various domains like dialectology, conversation analysis or sociology and applies it to this newer communication style.

Book SynopsisAt the turn of the twenty-first century, a tide of nonviolent youth movements swept across Eastern Europe. Young people demanded political change in repressive political regimes that emerged since the collapse of communism. The Serbian social movement Otpor (Resistance) played a vital role in bringing down Slobodan Milosevic in 2000. Inspired by Otpor''s example, similar challenger organizations were formed in Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, and Ukraine. The youth movements, however, differed in the extent to which they could mobilize citizens against the authoritarian governments on the eve of national elections. This book argues that the movement''s tactics and state countermoves explain, in no small degree, divergent social movement outcomes. Using data from semi-structured interviews with former movement participants, public opinion polls, government publications, non-governmental organization (NGO) reports, and newspaper articles, the book traces state-movement interactions in five Trade Review'This work provides a refreshing approach to these electoral revolutions, foregrounding the agency of youth activists and incumbents … this is a well-rounded, thoughtful study of youth movements in the region, and its key take away is to highlight the creativity and skill needed to 'outwit' a government and engage ordinary citizens in mobilization.'

Book SynopsisOver recent years, it has become clear that group-based approaches cannot directly be used to understand individual adolescent development. For that reason, interest in dynamic systems theory, or DST, has increased rapidly. Psychosocial Development in Adolescence: Insights from the Dynamic Systems Approach covers state-of-the-art insights into adolescent development that have resulted from adopting a dynamic systems approach.The first chapter of the book provides a basic introduction into dynamic systems principles and explains their consequences for the study of psychosocial development in adolescence. Subsequently, different experts discuss why and how we should apply a dynamic systems approach to the study of the adolescent transition period and psychological interventions. Various examples of the application of a dynamic systems approach are showcased, ranging from basic to more advanced techniques, as well as the insights they have generated. These applications cover a variety of fundamental topics in adolescent development, ranging from the development of identity, morality, sexuality, and peer networks, to more applied topics such as psychological interventions, educational dropout, and talent development.This book will be invaluable to both beginner and expert-level students and researchers interested in a dynamic systems approach and in the insights that it has yielded for adolescent development.Trade ReviewResearchers studying adolescent development have often identified that one size does not fit all. For a long time we have lacked the proper tools to explore these individual processes in adolescent development. Psychosocial Development in Adolescence: Insights from the Dynamic Systems Approach is a roadmap for encouraging wonder and discovery of these individual processes. Now it is time to make a difference and take seriously the individual processes when studying adolescent development. Dynamic Systems Approach (DSA) is the fundamental approach behind the roadmap. Like any forefront scientific investigation, DSA gives us new tools and methods to examine individual processes. It seems possible that widespread use of these techniques could spur a return to the kind of new approach that is now needed in adolescent research globally. Psychosocial Development in Adolescence: Insights from the Dynamic Systems Approach is a much needed call to join an important new approach. It encourages us all to ask new questions. It inspires us to share the questions we ask every day. It motivates us to keep asking until we find routes to the answers. In a world where understanding diverse and individual pathways is essential, the DSA approach offers a richer way to solve these problems as a worldwide community of curious people who wonder about the fundamental new insights of the adolescent development.Professor Katariina Salmela-Aro, Educational Sciences, University of Helsinki, FinlandTable of ContentsContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisEvaluation is an essential element of professional practice. However, there is little in the literature that is designed to help students involve and support young people in evaluating the impact of youth work activities. This comprehensive book explores current thinking about evaluation in the context of youth work and community work and offers both theoretical understanding and practical guidance for students, practitioners, organisational leaders and commissioners. Part 1 provides underpinning knowledge of the origins, purpose and functions of evaluation. It charts the developments in evaluation thinking over the past 50 years, and includes an exploration of theory of change'. Concepts such as impact, impact measurement and shared measurement are critically examined to illustrate the political nature of evaluation. Findings from empirical research are used to illuminate the challenges of applying a quasi-experimental paradigm of evaluation of youth and communitTrade Review'Bringing her extensive practice, research and teaching experience to the task, Susan Cooper provides an excellent and welcome treatise on participatory evaluation, confidently putting young people at the centre of the process. Offering a step by step method, this timely book will enable practitioners, not only in youth work but in the human services more widely, to incorporate evaluation as a core aspect of empowering practice.' - Dave Ward, Professor of Social and Community Studies, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK'Participation seems to be a taming force in evaluation, making it fit the youth work context. Using a participatory approach enables us to recognizing the value of different opinions and it gives people their say. But as Sue Cooper reminds us, participation is not just about evidence and youth work, but also one way of keeping democracy alive in modern society.

Book SynopsisYoung people's lives continue to be the topic of public scrutiny and recurring moral panics'. Smoking cannabis, speeding, and engaging in street-level fights are depicted as activities based on poor choices' or simple hedonism, putting young people's futures at risk. Based on comprehensive, qualitative research with young people in Denmark, this book illustrates how such individualised accounts miss out on the inherently social character of risk-taking activities.Youth, Risk, Routine introduces a new approach to risk-taking activities as being an integral and routinised part of young people's everyday life. By applying social theories of practice, this insightful volume presents a framework for understanding the routinised dimensions of young people's engagement in risk-taking and how this is embedded in, intertwined with, and held in place by other everyday practices. Indeed, through extensive empirical analyses of the rich material at hand, the authors explore how roTrade ReviewThis is an important, thoughtful, and original new research monograph about young people and risk. It deserves a wide audience amongst researchers, lecturers, and students; not only is it useful and accessible, it is ambitious and innovative. The authors have combined their own, separate research studies to provide a compelling, expansive, and coherent new approach to understanding young people’s risk-taking practices. Young people are often said to be at risk, or to pose risks to others. Risk is an influential concept in youth research, theory, and policy but it is also complicated, contested, and multi-faceted and used in quite different ways. Bengtsson and Ravn lead us away from individualised, positivistic, normative, choice-heavy, moral-panic infused understandings of risk to a theory that prioritises young people’s shared understandings and their routinized, embodied, socially-contextualised everyday practices. Practices of risk in respect of alcohol and drug use, speeding in motor vehicles, offending, youth culture, violence, partying, and so on are explored through detailed, qualitative vignettes and case studies from the authors’ own research. Bengtsson and Ravn quite rightly locate these insights into the everyday risk practices of young people within a wider analysis of changing patterns of youth transition to adulthood and, in turn, how these relate to changes in the welfare state, society, and economy. Rob MacDonald, Visiting Professor, Danish Centre for Youth Research, University of Aalborg; Adjunct Research Professor, Department of Sociology, Monash UniversityThis is an excellent book that not only takes our understanding of ‘risk’ to new levels but also shows why it should remain central to how we analyses the lives of young people today. A must read for those working in the field of youth sociology’. Alan France, Professor, University of AucklandThis is an insightful book about risk-taking practices amongst young people in Denmark. Bengtsson and Ravn take a fresh look at theories of risk while also drawing on youth sociology to analyse their own empirical data on young people’s risk-taking practices. I will strongly recommend this book for both practitioners and researchers dealing with young people today.Katrine Fangen, Professor, University of OsloTable of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisDo you wish your son or daughter would tell you more about what is happening in their life, and that they would open up to you more often?

However, Why Won't My Teenager Talk to Me? offers the parent and care-giver insightful and practical advice, as to how to encourage positive and respectful two-way communication between you and your teenager.

Our knowledge of the human brain has increased, and this new edition includes a whole chapter devoted to the changing teenage brain. Trade Review‘This book merges the voices of parents and teenagers with Dr Colemans's authoritative, well-defined framework, offering practical information and advice for parents of today’s teenagers.’ Janey Downshire, Teenagers Translated, UK‘John writes in a generous, practical and informed manner about difficult subject areas. He provides a frames work ‘STAGE’ for reflection and reference, but most of all an open-minded approach to get the most out parenting during the teenage years – he even allows us to consider that this can be a wonderful and not terrible experience because he talks to both parents and teenagers themselves.’ Jez Todd, CEO of Family Lives, UK‘In today’s pressured and competitive world, it seems that parents have much to worry about and too little sensible guidance. Parents are full of questions, for their experiences are new to them and, in the case of the fast-changing digital world, new to everyone. John Coleman’s years of expertise, sound research and sympathetic vision allows him to offer wise yet practical answers in a lively, accessible and thoroughly up-to-date manner.’ Professor Sonia Livingstone OBE, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK‘This book is essential reading for anyone with a teenager.

This book gives parents the insights they need to keep family communication channels open. It’s insightful and practical and should be on every parent’s bookshelf.’ Vicki Shotbolt, Founder and CEO of Parent Zone, UK‘This is the book that every parent of a teenager should have on their bedside table. Read it through, dip in and out – it contains so much that can help you. Coleman combines wisdom and sympathy with practicality and facts.

Book SynopsisPublished in 1983. Adolescence is a period of change for all and turmoil for some. Many adolescents have problems which are easily identified but for others the problems are more subtle. There is an interaction between their own difficulties and the systems of home, school and their own society. In this case, problems, which are very real, are more difficult to define and to deal with.This book aims to help teachers to recognise and understand the common problems of adolescents, as they are relevant to their schooling. In addition, suggestions are made to help both teachers and adolescents overcome these difficulties. Besides the more immediately obvious issues of learning and behaviour, there is also discussion of sexual behaviour, vandalism and substance abuse.Throughout the book the common theme is that all problem behaviour must be understood and acted upon within a context, and not regarded as examples of individual delinquency.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults: An Emotion Regulation Approach provides a unique focus on therapeutic practice with adolescents and young adults, covering everything from psychological theories of adolescence to the treatment of common emotional difficulties. Beginning with a review of development through adolescence into adulthood, and the principles of CBT, the book highlights problems with traditional models of CBT for adolescents and young adults. In a fresh approach, this book separates CBT from diagnosis and grounds it instead in emotion science. Adolescents and young adults learn not about disorders and symptoms, but about emotions, emotional traps', and how they can use CBT to bring about change. There are chapters on fear, sadness, anger, emotion dysregulation, and happiness. Each chapter provides an outline of emotion science, a clear cognitive behavioural formulation (trap'), and evidence-based interventions. Clinicians are

Book SynopsisHidden Youth and the Virtual World examines the phenomenon of hidden youth' or hikikomori, as it is better known in Japan as well as Hong Kong.

Book SynopsisAwareness of peer-on-peer abuse is on the rise and is a matter of increasing international concern. Abuse Between Young People: A Contextual Account is the first book to offer a contextualised narrative of peer-on-peer abuse that moves beyond recognising an association between environments and individual choice, and illustrates the ways in which such interplay occurs.Using both sociological and feminist perspectives, Firmin reshapes the way that peer-on-peer abuse is perceived and investigates the effect of gendered social context on the nature of abuse between young people. This text also uses an in-depth case study to explore associations between abusive incidents and young people's homes, peer groups, schools and neighbourhoods, in addition to broader societal influences such as pornography and politics.
