The only psychology book we’ve ever seen with an IMPRIMATUR!
We used this book when our kids first entered the teenage years–and it is FINALLY back in print for another generation of parents!
Dr. Allers rejects the Freud-inspired myth that adolescent unhappiness is inevitable. In jargon-free chapters, he explains:

- how best to understand, approach and influence teenagers
- features unique to adolescents
- daydreams and sexuality
- vocational guidance
Throughout, Dr. Allers offers sound, practical advice for solving — or preventing — the problems that can trouble even the best-raised teens. Dr. Allers covers:
- sexual thoughts and temptations
- peer pressure
- stubbornness and disobedience
- bashfulness and timidity
- sullenness or silence
- hostility and anger
- extravagant ambition
- nervousness
- laziness and fickleness
- anti-social behavior
- law breaking
- dishonesty
- and so much more!

This book shows how to overcome the most formidable obstacle to an ethical life: ourselves.
An inescapable truth lies at the heart of this simple yet profound book: The quality of our lives is not determined by the happenstance of genetics or by the influence of environment. On the contrary, the intrinsic value of the lives we lead reflects the strength of a single trait: our personal character.
By cultivating the habits of virtue, we will strengthen not only ourselves but, more importantly, our families and our world.
