Comprehensive in breath and textbook in depth, the Encyclopedia of Adolescence will serve as a reference repository of knowledge in the field as well as a frequently updated conduit of new knowledge long before such information trickles down from research to standard textbooks. The Encyclopedia of Adolescence will tentatively consist of four volumes divided by the major conceptual areas of child development: Volume 1: Self, Identity and Development in AdolescenceThis volume covers research relating to identity (from early adolescence through emerging adulthood), basic aspects of development (biological, cognitive, social, etc.), as well as foundational developmental theories. In addition, the volume focuses on various types of identity: gender, sexual, civic, moral, racial, spiritual, religious, etc. Volume 2: Adolescents' Social and Personal RelationshipsThis volume examines the nature and influence of a variety of important relationships: family, peer, friends, sexual and romantic as well as significant non-parental adults. Volume 3: Adolescents in Social InstitutionsThis volume centers on the influence and nature of important institutions that serve as the socializing contexts for adolescents. The major institutions include schools, religious groups, justice systems, medical fields, cultural contexts, media, economic statuses, and youth organizations. Volume 4: Adolescent Psychopathology and Mental HealthThis volume focuses on the wide variety of human thoughts, actions and behaviors relating to mental health, from psychopathology to thriving. Major topic examples include deviance, violence, crime, pathology (DSM), normalcy, risk, victimization, and positive youth development. Taking advantage of the techniques offered by the electronic medium, the Encyclopedia of Adolescence will offer an extensive cross referencing system facilitating search and retrieval of information.
