Teen Psychology

Das innere Kind hat zuletzt viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommen. Doch was verändert sich, wenn das Kind zum Erwachsenen heranwächst? Entwicklungspsychologen wissen: Nicht nur die frühe Kindheit, auch die Pubertät prägt uns tiefgehend, und der Keim zu vielen Verhaltensweisen wird hier gelegt.
