Game Proof.
Mitchell, John
Adolescence, v15 n58 p413-16 Sum 1980
The author argues that adult society prohibits adolescents from attaining maturity and that, in response to such constraints, adolescents turn to games, rituals, and charades. This state of affairs is viewed as an implicit adult conspiracy against adolescents. (DB)
