The book concludes with a more general account of rationality and development in adolescence and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on adolescence or adolescent development offered by departments of psychology, educational psychology, or human development, this brief text is also an ideal supplement for courses on social and\/or moral development, cognitive development, or lifespan development.
