Abstract	Adolescent struggle is about the forces which shape the self and direct the search for identity. It examines the factors which incline young people toward self-centeredness, irrationality and faulty decision-making. Section 1 of the book deals with the adolescent self and two of the most important determinants of adolescent behavior: egocentrism and narcissism. Forces which govern how young people think about themselves, and how these forces frequently encourage a self-protecting narrowness are defined. Section 2 explores why adolescents must struggle to attain a sturdy, worthwhile identity, and why, for many young people, the struggle for a worthwhile identity leads to "confusion"--a confusion which sometimes becomes the most important reality in their day-to-day life. Chapters are: (1) Some Introductory Comments; (2) Egocentrism and the Adolescent Thought Process; (3) Egocentric Distortions; (4) Narcissism; (5) Narcissism and the Diminished Self; (6) Friendships and Relationships; (7) The Corrupted Self; (8) Self Understanding; (9) The Nature of Adolescent Identity; (10) Identity Crisis; (11) Negativism and Negative Identity; (12) Conformity and Identity; (13) Turning Points in Identity; and (14) Further Issues in Adolescent Identity.
