Zacahary Aaron Kahn, PhD, is a licensed psychologist in New York City working predominantly with young adults. He is currently a psychologist at the St. Bernard’s School in Manhattan. Juliana Martinez, PhD, is a licensed psychologist in New York City working predominantly with young adults. She has worked at various college counseling centers.
In this timely book, Juliana Martinez and Zachary Kahn have assembled a profoundly diverse group of voices in an astonishingly coherent fashion, examining how people of every stripe manage the transition into adulthood. Each essay boasts its own insights, but it is, ironically, their multitude of juxtapositions that reveal their commonalities. In responding to recent social experiences and movements--from COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter--these invaluable pages offer a guide that could transform the work of therapists and parents alike. Its theories and ideas plead to be applied in the real world.--Andrew Solomon, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Columbia University, National Book Award-winning author of The Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree The topic of this book is not only timely and critically important, but it is approached with both clinical sophistication and a noteworthy attention to the currents of race, class, and gender that so often are given only secondary and superficial consideration. I am very familiar with the work of many of the authors, and they are a stellar group with precisely the expertise needed to carry this off most effectively. An indispensable resource.--Paul Wachtel, PhD, CUNY Distinguished Professor, Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, City College of CUNY
