Adolescent Development Reconsidered.
Gilligan, Carol
New Directions for Child Development, n37 p63-92 Fall 1987
Emphasizes necessity of reconsideration of adolescent development, for these reasons: the view of childhood has changed; females have not been systematically studied; theories of cognitive development favor mathematical and scientific thinking over the humanities; and because the psychology of adolescence is anchored in separation and independence rather than interdependence and commitment.
