En la actualidad, los estudios empíricos indican que la mayoría de los adolescentes parecen ser capaces de ganar en autonomía sin poner en riesgo los lazos socioemocionales con sus padres. De una u otra manera, unas sólidas relaciones familiares se convierten en requisito para el óptimo desarrollo adolescente. En este delicado balance entre autonomía y conexión afectiva se han de mover con particular habilidad los padres con hijos adolescentes. La ambigüedad generada en el sistema familiar se traslada así a los progenitores que vivencian, con mayor o menor intensidad, el replanteamiento vital propio de la mediana edad. La presente obra de las doctoras Ruano y Serra ayuda a clarificar, de forma sintética y elegante, este hecho genérico. Con un fundamento teórico sólido y una selección empírica pertinente, las autoras elaboran una investigación para responder a lo que en definitiva se podría resumir así: ¿qué hace una familia "resistente" al estrés adolescente? ...

Gay, straight, bisexual: how much does sexual orientation matter to a teenager's mental health or sense of identity? In this down-to-earth book, filled with the voices of young people speaking for themselves, Ritch Savin-Williams argues that the standard image of gay youth presented by mental health researchers--as depressed, isolated, drug-dependent, even suicidal--may have been exaggerated even twenty years ago, and is far from accurate today. The New Gay Teenager gives us a refreshing and frequently controversial introduction to confident, competent, upbeat teenagers with same-sex desires, who worry more about the chemistry test or their curfew than they do about their sexuality. What does "gay" mean, when some adolescents who have had sexual encounters with those of their own sex don't consider themselves gay, when some who consider themselves gay have had sex with the opposite sex, and when many have never had sex at all? What counts as "having sex," a...

Particularly in St. Petersburg, it is clear that romance is not associated with embarrassment, and this applies to flirting as well as to making friends. And especially not to the ten days in June, the so-called White Nights, when the sun shines all night long. And, who knows, during your visit you might discover one of the beautiful models Stepan introduces us to in his first book of erotic photographs. The practiced eye of the male observer realizes that these girls know how to love. And they also love their city of St. Petersburg, so much so in fact, that they tenderly whisper "Piter" to it, their pet name for it. And as the lips turn upwards in a smile, as they do when saying the letter "i" in "Piter" we realize that these girls have just infected us with their love. Stepan Kvardakov was born in 1988 in Ivanov, Russia. After graduating from University he moved to St. Petersburg in 2010. He was inspired to take up photography after his father gave him a...

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book, A Life's Work: On Becoming a Mother is multi-award-winning author Rachel Cusk's honest memoir that captures the life-changing wonders of motherhood. Selected by the New York Times as one of the 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years The experience of motherhood is an experience in contradiction. It is commonplace and it is impossible to imagine. It is prosaic and it is mysterious. It is at once banal, bizarre, compelling, tedious, comic, and catastrophic. To become a mother is to become the chief actor in a drama of human existence to which no one turns up. It is the process by which an ordinary life is transformed unseen into a story of strange and powerful passions, of love and servitude, of confinement and compassion. In a book that is touching, hilarious, provocative, and profoundly insightful, novelist Rachel Cusk attempts to tell something of an old story set in a new era of sexual equality. Cusk's account of a year of modern...
