Eroticism and Sexuality in Adolescence. What Is Puberty

We offer you articles by two world-famous German psychologists, Charlotte Bühler and Eduard Spranger, touching on a very important topic related to puberty and sexuality in adolescence.

Charlotte Bühler was among the first to talk about the biological meaning of puberty, which begins to manifest even before a teenager reaches physical maturity and continues long after it. Eduard Spranger laid the foundation for systematic study of teenagers’ worldview, value orientations, and self-awareness, and attempted to provide a psychological description of the two sides of love—eroticism and sexuality—and their manifestations in adolescence.
