Studies in the Social Psychology of Adolescence: International Library of Sociology K: The Sociology of Youth and Adolescence (International Library of Sociology)

This is Volume X of twelve in a collection of the Sociology of Youth and Adolescence. Originally published in 1951, this is a book of studies in social psychology The study of children in their social relationships, the effect of membership of groups, the school as a social therapeutic institution. These are relatively novel phrases and like all such fresh phrases they point to a new emphasis in the observation of human beings and in the formulation of basic hypotheses as to their nature. The International Library of Sociology (ILS) is the most important series of books on sociology ever published. Founded in the 1940s by Karl Mannheim, the series became the forum for pioneering research and theory, marked by comparative approaches and analysis of new disciplines, such as the sociology of youth and culture. Spanning volumes by Parsons, Dickinson and Ossowski, the history of the ILS is the history of modern sociology. Young people are educable. Young people are worth educating. Upon their wise handling depend the issues of ultimate harmonyor conflict in the home, in workshop or factory, and among thenations. Many current methods of treatment find, however, theirjustification only in the somewhat mythical descriptions of pastcenturies. For most of these there is little support in the morecareful studies of recent years Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork This Volume Traces The Modern Critical And Performance History Of This Play, One Of Shakespeare's Most-loved And Most-performed Comedies.

These ground-breaking works investigated how aggression, discipline, the struggle for recognition and the need to rebel shaped the personalities of the young. These are key texts for health and social welfare. First published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
