Abstract
A professional psychologist specializing in teenage development has two major areas of activity. The first activity falls within the realm of psycho-diagnosis and remedial therapy. It involves problems of service delivery, that is, making professional treatment available to teenagers who suffer from clearly defined (DSM-classified) psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, eating disorder, conduct disorder, adjustment disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or serious situations such as being dismissed from school, being caught taking drugs or engaging in antisocial/criminal behavior.
