Social Transition and Adolescent Development.
Simmons, Roberta G.
New Directions for Child Development, n37 p33-62 Fall 1987

Multiple, simultaneous, and earlier transitions that do not provide an arena of comfort for the adolescent appear to create more problems. More understanding of the proximal and distal effects of these transitions is needed. (NH)
