Problematic Behaviors During Adolescence
Adolescent Psychology courses often touch on problematic behaviors but rarely delve into the complex causes of these behaviors. Dr. Jeffrey Haugaard has written the only text to examine some of the most prevalent problematic behavior and provides students with a model for understanding the causes of such behavior.
