Creating programs, services, families, communities and, ultimately, a society that
promotes healthy adolescent development as imperative for the future is the message
of this book, Positive Youth Development: Development of a Pioneering Program in a Chinese Context. The authors present the reader with state-of-the-art information garnered from a

Social Programmes (P.A.T.H.S.)”. These skilled authors first set the stage for the

issues of parental control, psychological well-being, and poverty.
