心理专家称：
25
岁才应是成年分界点


StartStop
New guidance for psychologists will acknowledge that adolescence now effectively runs up until
the
age
of
25
for
the
purposes
of
treating
young
people.
So
is
this
the
new
cut-off
point
for
adulthood?



心理学家新指南中指出，在治疗年轻 人时，青春期的划分截止到
25
岁结束。这是否意
味着
25
岁是成年 的新分界点呢？





idea
that
suddenly
at
18
you're
an
adult
just
doesn't
quite
ring
true,
says
child
psychologist Laverne Antrobus, who works at London's Tavistock Clinic
。
“


“认为满
18
岁就进入成年 其实是不恰当的。
”伦敦塔维斯托克诊所的儿童心理学家拉弗
-
安
特罗伯斯表 示。





experience
of
young
people
is
that
they
still
need
quite
a
considerable
amount
of
support and help beyond that age.



“从我和年轻人接触的 经历来看，
18
岁以上的年轻人仍然需要很多支持与帮助。
”





and
I
think
it's
a
really
good
initiative,
says
Antrobus,
who
believes
we
often
rush
through
childhood, wanting our youngsters to achieve key milestones very quickly
。




“我们也越来越关注
18
岁以上年轻人的成长，
我觉得这是一个很棒的创举。
”
安特罗伯
斯说。在她看来，人们太急于摆脱童年，巴不得在青年时期就成就大业。




The new guidance is to help ensure that when young people reach the age of 18 they do not
fall through the gaps in the health and education system. The change follows developments in
our understanding of emotional maturity, hormonal development and particularly brain activity
。




新指南旨在帮助年满
18
岁的年轻人跨过健康与教育这道坎。此次变更重在强调对情感
成熟、荷尔蒙发展、尤其是大 脑活动的理解。





stop at a certain age, that actually there's evidence of brain development well into early twenties
and
that
actually
the
time
at
which
things
stop
is
much
later
than
we
first
thought,
says
Antrobus
。




“
“神经科学已经取得重大进步。现在看来，有些问题并不是到了某个年 龄就会自动停
止的；
事实表明，在二十出头的年纪，大脑还处于成长状态，
定型时期远 比人们原先认为的

晚。
”安特罗伯斯说。




There
are
three
stages
of
adolescence
-
early
adolescence
from
12-14
years,
middle
adolescence from 15-17 years and late adolescence from 18 years and over
。




青春期有三个阶段：
12-14
岁为早期，
15-17
岁为中期，
18
岁以上为后期。




Neuroscience
has
shown
that
a
young person's
cognitive
development
continues
into
this
later stage and that their emotional maturity, self-image and judgement will be affected until the
prefrontal cortex of the brain has fully developed
。




神经科学表明，
年 轻人的认知发展会一直持续到后期阶段，
而在大脑前额皮层完全发育
前，他们的情感成熟、自我 形象和判断都会受到影响。




Alongside
brain
development,
hormonal
activity
is
also
continuing
well
into
the
early
twenties says Antrobus
。




安特罗伯斯还说，除了大脑发展，荷尔蒙代谢也会一直持续到二十出头的年纪。





number
of
children
and
young
people
I
encounter
between
the age
of 16
and
18,
the
flurry of hormonal activity in them is so great that to imagine that's going to settle down by the
time they get to 18 really is a misconception,
。
“




“许 多我见过的
16-18
岁年轻人的荷尔蒙代谢都异常活跃，如果认为他们满
18
岁就会
自动安稳消停，那可大错特错

了。
”安特罗伯斯说。




She
says
that
some adolescents
may want
to
stay
longer with
their
families because
they
need more support during these formative years and that it is important for parents to realise
that all young people do not develop at the same pace
。




她还说，
有些青少年希望能多跟家人呆在一起，
那是因为在成长定型阶段，
他们需要更
多支持；所以父母应该明白，青春期成长是因

人而异的。




But is there any danger we could be breeding a nation of young people reluctant to leave
adolescence behind? TV sitcoms are littered with such comic stereotypes of juvenile adults



但是，
如果下一代都迟迟不愿离开青春期，
那会有什么样的弊端呢？情景喜剧中到处都
能看到这种诙谐的长不大的人。




Then
there
are
those
characters
who
want
to
break
away
from
their
overbearing
or
protective parents or guardians and reach adulthood, but struggle to cut the family ties
。




当然，
也有年轻人渴望摆脱过于约束或宠溺的父母或监护人，
希望尽快跨入 成年，
可也
