Dobson, James. Adolescência feliz : como enfrentar as mudanças no corpo e na mente. São Paulo : Mundo Cristão, 1981.

A adolescência é sem dúvida a fase mais crítica e duvidosa no desenvolvimento do ser humano. Trata-se de um período passageiro, em que todos os matizes característicos dessa transitoriedade se intensificam. A pessoa deixa para trás os anos encantados da infância para, repentinamente, ver-se envolvida em um mundo confuso e de mudanças de toda ordem: físicas, emocionais, pessoais e psicológicas. É nesse contexto que o dr. Dobson, psicólogo especializado na área familiar, situa a discussão promovida em Adolescência feliz. Aqui são abordados, direta e abertamente, os principais assuntos que preocupam os adolescentes: o sentimento de inferioridade, o conformismo, a puberdade, o amor, a crise de identidade, o desânimo, letargia, para citar alguns. Adolescência feliz propõe-se a ajudar os adolescentes não só a encarar os desafios próprios dessa fase da vida, mas também a superá-los positivamente.
