Summary

Adolescence is, in many ways, the best of times and the worst of times. It is a developmental period of maximum risk – with (along with young adulthood) the highest rates of exposure of any age group to many types of violent crime, traumatic injury, and traumatic death (Layne et al., in press). Adolescence is also a highly favorable time in which to intervene, presenting a window of opportunity to reduce severe distress, risky behavior, functional impairment, and the risk for developmental derailment prior to early adulthood. Adolescence is a time of growth, promise, hope, and opportunity – a period in which many quasi-adult capacities emerge and quasi-adult privileges are bestowed. These include physical growth and maturation; enhanced physical and cognitive abilities; increased self-control, self-direction, and self-protection; increased autonomy; and increased participation in society.
