Why Can’t You Understand Me?

Essential Psychological Guidance for Teens and Young Adults

Roland Kim, Ph.D.

About This Book

A psychological guide written around questions many teens and young adults struggle to put into words: Why can’t others understand me? Where am I heading? Why does it feel as if the world is against me? Why do attention problems or difficult feelings persist? And where can I find meaningful help?

What You’ll Explore

How psychology can benefit young people; feeling misunderstood; identity and direction; conflict with parents and the outside world; attention difficulties; guilt and self-blame; anger toward parents; and finding appropriate help and support.

Who This Book Is For

For teens and young adults trying to make sense of difficult emotions, family conflict, identity, attention problems, and the movement toward greater psychological independence—as well as parents who want to understand that experience more clearly.
