  • ""Sexuality in Adolescence: Current Trends" considers the latest theory and research on adolescent development, focusing on sexuality as a vital aspect of normal, healthy maturation. Biological changes are discussed within a social context, and the latest research is presented on key issues of our time, including changes in teenage sexual behaviours and beliefs, sexual risk-taking, body dissatisfaction, sex education, teen pregnancy and abortion. Susan Moore and Doreen Rosenthal explore the roles of parents, peers, the media, social institutions and youth culture in adolescent sexual adjustment. This volume covers topical issues ranging from the role of the internet in adolescent romance to the pros and cons of abstinence education versus harm minimization. Issues, such as whether there are male-female differences in desire, sexuality, motives for sex, and beliefs about romance are examined, along with the question of whether a sexual double standard still exists. Maladaptive aspects of sexual development, including sexual risk-taking, disease, unplanned pregnancy, and sexual coercion are also covered.; This fully revised and updated second edition also addresses the crucial issues of: sexual minority adolescents; the social determinants of adolescent sexuality; sexual health as opposed to sexual illness. This book aims to promote sexual well-being, and argues for the importance of the adolescent period as a time for engendering healthy sexual attitudes and practices. It will be valuable reading for students in the social and behavioural sciences interested in adolescent development and the topic of sexuality and for professionals working with young people."

  • "Il testo ha per tema le varie teorie relative alla sessualità, esaminata da una prospettiva biologica, psicologica e sociale. Gli autori mettono in evidenza la centralità della fase adolescenziale per quanto riguarda lo sviluppo della sessualità e dell'identità, ad essa fortemente legata. Il volume inoltre riporta una rassegna completa e di facile accesso dei risultati della riflessione e della ricerca scientifica internazionale sui significati che gli adolescenti attribuiscono alla sessualità e ai comportamenti sessuali, sulla nascita e sullo sviluppo delle differenze di comportamento tra maschi e femmine, sul significato dell'omosessualità adolescenziale femminile e maschile e dei rischi sessuali per gli adolescenti, primo fra tutti l'AIDS e le gravidanze indesiderate, sulle violenze e sugli sfruttamenti sessuali. Moore S. è "senior lecturer" presso la Facoltà di Educazione, Monash University (Australia); Rosenthal D. è professoressa e direttrice del Centro Studi sulle Malattie Sessualmente Trasmissibili, La Trobe University (Australia).(Gruppo Abele)."
