This paper examines approaches to communication between parents and teenagers according to what is referred to as "Win-Win Negotiation", a term that connects to several bodies of research which gained great prevalence in various fields of the Applied social sciences through the 1980s. As a set of methods to be promoted within the family, the model represents a departure from past ideals of parent-teenager interaction, in a break from both the authoritarian approaches of old and their more lenient counterparts. The former has insisted that the teenager is a person negotiating the difficult years of adolescence and who therefore requires strong and externally-exerted direction from his or her parents; such movements as Tough-Love may be associated with the approach's general trend. 16 pgs. 23 f/c. 29b.
