1. Definition of adolescent psychology?

Adolescent psychology is the field of psychology that focuses on the issues that are
unique to adolescents. Adolescence is a time of fluctuating and rapidly changing
interests and desires, high energy, sexual maturation, physical growth, and limited
emotional insight - this creates fertile ground for many emotional problems and
challenges that might benefit from professional intervention. Research areas of interest
in this field include adolescent development (both physical and cognitive changes),
puberty, gender and sexual development, and the emotions of adolescents.
Adolescence is a transitional period in the human life span, linking childhood and
adulthood. Understanding the meaning of adolescence is important because
adolescents are the future of any society.
