| Abstract: | (from the cover) Something is supposed to happen during the adolescent years, which the author describes as the natural mandate for post-biological development--the development of the sexual and spiritual senses and expansion of our growth process outside of our bodies and into the world that surrounds us. Though first written in the mid-1980s, the message of this book is even more compelling and helpful today--especially for those who live with and work with adolescents. Drawing on the stages of development outlined by Piaget and the brain research or neuroscientist P. MacLean, the author demonstrates how nature has built into us an agenda for the intelligent and creative unfolding of our lives. Pearce illuminates the connection between adolescent mind and heart development as it relates to the perennial issues of nature vs. nurture, offering a critique of contemporary childrearing practices that are at the core of today's social and psychological problems. This book is an essential guide to the unfolding of the adolescent. It enables us to understand out children and help them release their potential in order to experience the fullness of life the way nature intended.
