Reviews and Endorsements
Freud said adolescence was a chance at a cure, one that often enough ends in complete devastation. The western world seems to be traversing a volatile adolescence, searching for a new form of maturity. Carl Waitz’s book is a stunning guide for a world without any rites of passage."
Jamieson Webster, author and psychoanalyst
The kids are not ok – smart and kind they may be, but anxious and overworked; suicide second to accidents as a killer of teens. This meticulously argued and solidly researched book addresses burning questions relevant to youth mental health. Combining Lacanian psychoanalysis with sociology and anthropology, Waitz builds an indispensable clinical tool that opens new intellectual vistas.
Patricia Gherovici, psychoanalyst and author of Transgender Psychoanalysis
