INTRODUCTION

It is indeed an undeniable fact that along the life span, each developmental phase is unique in

its own way. Every stage has its own characteristics, developmental tasks, crisis points and

resolution that, only add new flavor to our existence and enables us to cherish different tastes

of life, in terms of diverse experience, while moving forward.

But despite of ones? personal experience some stages of life in general, are much more

complicated or rather sensitive to deal with, than others. They are like a "passing phase" or a

rough road in a journey in which one can not take a detour and therefore even the most

efficient driver would require the ability to balance, which often comes through proper

guidance. One such developmental phase is Adolescence which has commonly been known

as the period of storm and stress (Hall, 1904/1916).
