This annual is the fourth of a series of volumes sponsored by the American Society for Adolescent Psychiatry. The contributors are diverse—analysts, psychiatrists, a social worker, and even a novelist-rabbi. Since the writers come from different fields, several use provocative language, and perhaps because of the picturesque imagery that teenagers evoke, many papers make delightful and entertaining reading. For the most part, the authors use psychoanalytic terminology and thinking, and the volume as a whole provides a fine overview of adolescent phenomenology and dynamics.
