The Myth of Maturity

The author, a social psychologist and researcher at Cambridge University, presents advice for parents on how to communicate with, support, and guide their college-age children. Apter's premise, based on in-depth interviews conducted with 32 college students and recent graduates, states that although college students are essentially adults, they still yearn for and need parental guidance and support.
