Adolescence (from Latin: adolescere meaning "to grow up")[1] is a transitional stage of physical and psychological human development generally occurring between puberty and legal adulthood (age of majority).[1][2][3] The period of adolescence is most closely associated with the teenage years,[3][4][5][6] although its physical, psychological and cultural expressions can begin earlier and end later. From Wikipedia.
thank you! :)
Yes, that is correct! The term "adolescent" typically refers to individuals who are in the stage of development between childhood and adulthood, typically between the ages of 12 and 18. So in the context of a Child and Adolescent Therapist, it means that the therapist specializes in working with both children and teenagers. They are trained to address the unique mental, emotional, and behavioral issues that may arise during this transitional period of adolescence.
