Empathetic Relationships in Adolescents and Their Relevance To Prognosis in Psychiatric Breakdown

Medicine—York and Harrogate

MANY authors have shown that adolescent breakdown is often associated with emotional deprivation in childhood. Psychotherapeutic intervention before the personality becomes too fixed and rigid should offer a means of improvement through the creation of substitute empathetic relationships, and prognosis should be improved to the extent to which this is successful.

This hypothesis is tested through a follow-up study involving 100 adolescents, and the hypothesis is found proved in the diagnostic category of adolescent persona lity disorder, but of no apparent relevance in other groups.
