Document Summary
Early: very rapid development (sexual maturation), intense focus on themselves (physical) and their peers. Middle: the emergence of new thinking skills, becoming sophisticated. Adolescence: its psychology and its relations to physiology, anthropology, sociology, Transitional period bridging savage childhood with civilized adulthood. Historical views of adolescence: anna freud (mixed up) Adolescents are excessively egoistic, regarding themselves as the center of the universe and the sole object of interest, and yet at not time in later life are they capable of so much self sacrifice and devotion. They form the most passionate love relations, only to break them as abruptly as they began them. On the one hand they throw themselves enthusiastically into the life of the community and, on the other hand, they have an over powering longing for solitude. They oscillate between blind submission to some self chosen leader and defiant rebellion against any and every authority. Assumptions of the tumultuous adolescent is an overstatement.
