Klappentext zu „Teen Brain: Primed for Addiction “
Teenage years are a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. Why? It's all in the brain! During adolescence, the emotional center develops rapidly, making teens crave excitement and novelty. This "wired for risk" state isn't a bug, it's a feature. It helps teens explore independence, learn from trial and error, and solidify their identities.However, the prefrontal cortex, responsible for planning and long-term thinking, lags behind. This can lead to impulsive decisions - that joyride that seems thrilling might not seem so great later. While risk-taking is a natural part of growing up, understanding these brain changes can help teens (and parents!) navigate this adventurous stage more safely.
Autoren-Porträt von Jessy
Dr. Jessy, for your Adolescent Psychology course, I propose "Teen Brain: Primed for Addiction." This book explores the science behind why teenagers are more susceptible to addiction. We'll delve into the unique development of the teenage brain, particularly the reward system and prefrontal cortex, which make teens more likely to seek out rewarding experiences and struggle with resisting urges. "Teen Brain" goes beyond biology, analyzing social and environmental factors like peer pressure and technology access that can further heighten risk.This book isn't just about the problem. By understanding how the teenage brain is "primed for addiction," we can empower parents, educators, and mental health professionals with the knowledge and tools to prevent addiction and promote healthy coping mechanisms in adolescents. "Teen Brain" is a valuable resource for anyone who works with teenagers or wants to understand the complex link between brain development, addiction, and adolescent behavior.
