Los diferentes capítulos compilados en el libro Problemas contemporáneos en la niñez y la juventud permiten comprender los efectos del entorno en la vida del ser humano en desarrollo, y constituir un referente valioso para investigadores y profesionales de la psicología y la educación. Lo anterior debido a que la mayoría de los profesionales que se desempeñan en instituciones dedicadas al trabajo directo con niños y jóvenes cuentan con escasa formación en investigación, aunque son ellos quienes están al frente de los procesos de intervención. Los autores de cada capítulo asumen análisis empíricos, comprensiones e interpretaciones que ratifican a niños y jóvenes como sujetos de derechos, quienes demandan ser pensados desde las ciencias sociales y humanas. De esta manera, el libro representa un esfuerzo investigativo mediante el uso de metodologías cuantitativas y cualitativas que abarcan perspectivas desde lo psicosocial y lo socioeducativo como ejes temáticos. Esto con el fin de visibilizar y tensionar el papel de la psicología y la educación en el desarrollo integral de niños y jóvenes en escenarios como la familia, la escuela y la comunidad.

Next, chapters review quantitative, qualitative, and cross-cultural research on PTG, including in relation to cognitive function, identity formation, cross-national and gender differences, and similarities and differences between adults and children.

It is also widespread, causing human disease in the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa. The environments in which this disease occurs range from desert to tropical jungle to urban habitats. Not surprisingly, the literature on this disease is written in a variety of languages including Portuguese, Arabic, English and French among others. This book provides a synopsis in English of much of the recent research on leishmaniasis, with a focus on the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of the disease as described by researchers around the world, but with a focus on the research from Brazil and the Middle East.
This book focuses on representations of aging masculinities in contemporary U.S. fiction, including shifting perceptions of physical and sexual prowess, depression, and loss, but also greater wisdom and confidence, legacy, as well as new affective patterns. The collection also incorporates factors such as race, sexuality and religion. The volume includes studies, amongst others, on Philip Roth, Paul Auster, Toni Morrison, Ernest Gaines, and Edmund White. Ultimately, this study proves that men’s aging experiences as described in contemporary U.S. literature and culture are as complex and varied as those of their female counterparts.
