Problem:
The period of adolescence and early adulthood mark important periods in human development. Physical, cognitive and psychosocial development in adolescence and young adulthood will help us understand what turns out to be normative and non-normative in the development process at each stage. Understanding each of these dimensions of development will help social workers understand, contextualize development in general, and be able to identify areas of strength and areas to develop in the development process according to the stage being evaluated.
Reflective analysis
Answer in essay format (introduction, development and conclusion) from the perspective of social work:
- How does the family influence the physical, psychosexual, social, emotional, moral, intellectual, cognitive and spiritual processes in the development of adolescents and young adults? Conclude by reflecting on the role of the social worker during the processes that occur as part of human growth in order to overcome conditions that could hinder, or represent risk factors, the development of adolescents and young adults.
- Please include at least 2 academic sources cited in text in APA.
