Course Description
This course is aimed at clinicians and health-care professionals wishing to deepen their understanding of adolescent behavior. It was written by Robert Yourell, a licensed psychotherapist and expert in stress management, brain injury recovery, and behavioral psychology.
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol. Many adolescents engage in behaviors that challenge societal norms. This can include delinquent behaviors. But, a significant proportion have significant psychiatric or emotional problems that can hobble their transition into a fulfilling adulthood. The course reviews adolescent behavior from a biopsychological perspective. It aims to help the reader gain a better understanding of the differences between normal and pathological adolescent behaviors, and to distinguish patterns of behavior that are cause for concern.
