Utilizing Developmental Perspectives in the Study of Adolescence

Although the individual life-span, family life course, and family systems perspectives have received frequent attention in recent times, there has been relatively little work comparing these three frameworks. In addition, these perspectives have been under-utilized in studying adolescence. This paper compares the basic concepts and approaches of these three perspectives, identifies some of the current limitations of each, and attempts to clarify how they might contribute in a cooperative manner to the further study of adolescent development.
