Description: "In times of dramatic social changes, adolescents are the last children of the old system and the first adults of the new. The Hungarian and Polish adolescents documented in this book can be considered the omega-alpha generation of the great social, political, and economic changes that occurred during the late 1980s and early 1990s in central and eastern Europe.

Adolescent Development and Rapid Social Change addresses the psychological consequences for these young people who came of age during a time of such uncertainty"--BOOK JACKET.
