Abstract

In search of authentic human values in the perspective of transpersonal psychology. The Italian news in recent months has brought some disturbing news about the world of childhood and adolescence. Was the focus of the media, the young killers of their parents, for reasons of inheritance, "baby killers" and rapist of teenage girls? On emotion evoked by these events, numerous and disparate efforts have been made by several parties, to interpret the phenomenon from a sociological, psychological and psychiatric. Such behavior should be regarded as highly unusual and deviant, or represent only the extreme expression of a "continuum" that leads to them? Phenomena of youth most widespread and frequent, as behaviors, the addiction, violence, individual or group, as affecting in modern industrial society? Especially in youth, as frequently investigated and discussed, as is the related physiological adolescent identity crisis and what can be correctly attributed to our cultural models of development and integration with society? There is a crisis of epochal model of family? What role it could play in these phenomena of youth deviance? Probably can never fully describe and analyze phenomena so uneven and changing so quickly, such as customs and styles of social behavior by adolescent's, in modern industrial societies. Some sociological data may, however, be useful tools for reflection, for those who as parents or for carrying on professional activities, such as teachers, psychologists, doctors, come into daily contact with this population.
