In recent years there have been tremendous advances in understanding how brain development underlies behavioural changes in adolescence. Based on the latest discoveries in the research field, Eveline A. Crone examines changes in learning, emotions, face processing and social relationships in relation to brain maturation, across the fascinating period of adolescent development. This book covers new insights from brain research that help us to understand what happens when children turn into adolescents and then into young adults. Why do they show increases in sensation-seeking, risk-taking and sensitivity to opinions of friends? With the arrival of neuroimaging techniques, it is now possible to unravel what goes on in an individual’s brain when completing cognitive tasks, when playing computer games, or when engaging in online social interactions. These findings help reveal how children learn, control thoughts and actions, plan activities, control emotions and think about intentions of others, offering a new perspective on behaviour and motivations of adolescents. This is the first comprehensive book to cover the many domains of adolescent brain development, stretching from cognitive to affective to social development. It is valuable reading for students and researchers in the field of adolescent development and developmental cognitive neuroscience and those interested in how the developing brain affects behaviour in the teenage years.

We may not welcome change, but it usually brings new opportunities and the possibility of a fresh start. When the great change of the menopause begins to be felt in a woman's life, the accompanying loss of fertility and signs of growing older can signal a life crisis. In this essential guide written from the holistic perspective of anthroposophic medicine, Dr. Eveline Daub-Amend shows how this turning point in a woman's life can become a positive time of transformation--one of entering a new phase of life with a fit and healthy body, mind, and spirit. She discusses how symptoms can be treated using natural methods and addresses emotional and psychological processes and changes. As a medical doctor and former gynecologist, Dr. Daub-Amend offers authoritative guidance on many issues: the role of hormones; changes in the menstrual cycle and hormonal balance; loss of fertility; contraception; and the affects on sexuality and partnership. She also provides advice on dealing with hot flashes, sleep disorders, irregular bleeding, joint pains, skin and hair care, and weight and figure, as well as specific health problems such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and depression. Moreover, she considers complementary methods of treatment, the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the significance of diet and exercise.
