THE LONELY PLACE: REVISIONING ADOLESCENCE AND THE RITE OF PASSAGE by P. Jamie Lee
For most of human history, cultures have created ceremonies and rites of passage to help young people make the profound transition from childhood into adulthood. Much of modern culture has lost those traditions—but adolescents still need the passage.
The result of ten years of research, reflection, and work, The Lonely Place explores what traditional rites of passage offered young people and asks an important contemporary question:
How might we create meaningful rites of passage for young people today?
Written for parents, educators, counselors, community leaders, and anyone who cares about adolescents, this book offers a different way of understanding one of life's most important transitions.
