Emerging Adults

"Emerging adulthood" (EA) describes a developmental period between adolescence and adulthood, typically spanning ages eighteen to twenty-nine. It's a rough time for most people—perhaps now more than ever. Emerging Adults in Therapy contains contributions from various psychologists and psychiatrists, with diverse backgrounds and specialties related to EA. This book should appeal to training and practicing clinicians working with young people, as well as young adults and parents who are interested in both the psychological challenges and therapeutic practices that can help.

Nones claim no religion. Dones have become disillusioned and left the church. Research shows many young adults are landing in one of these camps. But that's not the end of the story. Many emerging adults, ages 18 to 33, are tossing aside the none and done labels and are instead embracing a transformative Christian faith. Based on her extensive research, scholar-practitioner Beth Seversen outlines a model for how to engage and retain millennials and Generation Z in the life of the local church.

In it, you will find some insightful perspectives and teachings on parenting teens in a way that makes them reliable and delightful future adults.
