Spielman, Jade B2007-12-042007-12-042007-12-04http://hdl.handle.net/2097/467Throughout this report, I focused on the effects that the loss of a parent has on an adolescent during the various stages of adolescent development. Drawing upon research already completed on divorce during adolescence, I speculated on the similarities and differences between losing a parent through divorce or death during the adolescent stages of development.
