"Of Adolescence (ABC Series) 1st Edition," published by BMJ Books (and later by Wiley), is a concise yet comprehensive guide designed primarily for healthcare professionals who interact with young people. Authored by Russell Viner, a consultant in Adolescent Medicine, this 56-page book aims to equip general practitioners, emergency department staff, and other clinicians with essential knowledge to effectively manage and communicate with adolescent patients.

The book emphasizes that adolescents undergo rapid and distinct physical, psychological, and social developmental changes that set them apart from both children and adults. These unique changes lead to different patterns of disease presentation, management challenges, and communication issues, which health professionals, often lacking specific training in adolescent care, may find challenging.
