However, it is also necessary to take into consideration a relatively big space for "manipulating" an individual and guiding his/her development in a desirable way, although there are certain limits to it. Even though an adolescent individual is in the process of development, which can be influenced through targeted intervention, it may not be possible to reverse certain facts, especially if these originate e.g. in early childhood and are of fundamental...
