Adolescence is recognised as a turbulent period of human development. Along with the physical changes of puberty adolescents undergo significant transformations in the way they think act feel & perceive the world. The disruption that is manifest in their behaviour is upsetting & often incomprehensible to the adults surrounding them. In The Adolescent Psyche Richard Frankel shows how this unique stage of human development expresses through its traumas & fantasies the adolescents urge towards self-realization. The impact of contemporary culture on the lives of young people has resulted in an increasing number of adolescents being referred for psychotherapy & psychiatric treatment.

Adolf Hitler: My Part on His Downfall" is volume One of Spike Milligan's outrageous hilarious legendary War Memoirs. ' At Victoria station the R.T.O. gave me a travel warrant a white feather & a picture of Hitler marked " This is your enemy". I searched every compartment but he wasn't on the train.. .' In this the first of Spike Milligan's uproarious recollections of life in the army our hero takes us from the outbreak of war in 1939 ('it must have been something we said') through his attempts to avoid enlistment ('time for my appendicitus I thought') & his gunner training in Bexhill (' There was one drawback.

Spike Milligan was one of the greatest & most influential comedians of the twentieth century. Born in India in 1918 he served in the Royal Artillery during WWII in North Africa & Italy. At the end of the war he forged a career as a jazz musician sketch-show writer & performer before joining forces with Peter Sellers & Harry Secombe to form the legendary " Goon Show". Until his death in 2002 he had success as on stage & screen & as the author of over eighty books of fiction memoir poetry plays cartoons & children's stories." ...
