CHD 308 - Development of the Adolescent

Institution:

Union Institute & University - Closed

Subject:

Description:

This course analyzes the biosocial, cognitive, psychosocial, and growth of the self that occurs during the phase of human development that is commonly referred to as adolescence. We will investigate some definitions of puberty and an historical understanding of adolescence. We will gain an understanding of the adolescent in their home, school, and social environment. A more comprehensive analysis of adolescent intellectual, brain, physical, and social development will be available that may help us explain the many stereotypes cast onto adolescent life. This course also investigates theories, scientific evidence and personal insight. This course finally challenges misconceptions, misperceptions, misrepresentations, and the misreading of adolescent development, especially those relating to raising and living with adolescents and our relationships with them. In challenging our basic ideas and beliefs, we come to find the fictions inherent in them and more importantly come to a much different understanding of this time of human development.
