Objectives
Contents Adolescence will be analysed starting from the developmental tasks of this phase of the life cycle (e.g., the development of identity, the emotional-relational development linked to relational contexts (i.e., family, school and peers), as well as analysing the relationship between adolescents and society. The risk and protective factors related to the atypical development of adolescence, such as crime and bullying, will also be explored, with particular attention to assessment techniques and intervention strategies.
Extended Syllabus The course explores in deep:
The development tasks of the adolescent in relation to the contexts in which he/she is inserted.
The recent and classic theoretical models in the study of adolescence and the aetiology of self, in relation to the social-cultural contexts.
Analysis of risk and protective factors.
Trajectories of atypical development in adolescence (i.e., criminal and violent behaviors in adolescence, bullying, internalizing and externalizing disorders, suicidal risk).
The evaluation and monitoring strategies of the typical and atypical development of the adolescent, and of the main figures with whom he/she is related.
