Crossroads: The Quest for Contemporary Rites of Passage
 Edited by Louise Carus Mahdi, Nancy Geyer Christopher, and Michael Meade
Crossroads is a rich, multidisciplinary collection of contemporary thought on rites of passage from leading psychologists, anthropologists, social and religious leaders, medical professionals, educators, and parents. Contributions include first-hand accounts of personal rites of passage and practical information about contemporary rites of passage work led by diverse individuals and organizations. Topics range from working with youth in transition, inspiring myths and stories from many cultures, and reflections on life transitions in relation to the problems we face today, such as the epidemics of gangs, violence, teen pregnancy, depression, and suicide. |
