The Romance of Risk reviews & articles:
Purchase HereThe Romance of Risk
Reveals a new perspective on how and why teens engage in risk-taking behaviors. Through stories of teens’ lives, this book refutes the traditional idea that risk-taking is an angry power struggle with parents- so called teenage rebellion- and redefines it as a potentially positive testing process whereby challenge and risk are tools adolescents use to find but who they are and determine who they will become.
“A quick, suggestion-packed, truthful, and interesting read from a smart, pragmatic, well-trained, humane psychiatrist.”
