Editorial Reviews

Review
Perhaps it is time for a paradigm shift in how we understand the tumultuous time we call adolescence. Dr. Epstein s landmark book may be just what we need to help enhance our understanding of and better serve those moving through this complex period of life. --Drew Pinsky, M.D., Co-Host, Loveline ; medical director, Department of Chemical

The Case Against Adolescence is one of the most revolutionary books I have ever read. --Albert Ellis, Ph.D., The Albert Ellis Institute (from the Foreword)

This is a profoundly important book. Dr. Epstein is raising issues about our young people that we need to think about and evaluate carefully. Generally, I think the institutions that serve our young are sound, but this book points to some obvious problems most especially the fact that our young people are largely isolated from the adult world. If you care about America s young, this is a must read. --Dr. Joyce Brothers, author & columnist
