Abstract

As many as 120 subjects, directed in 1984-1988 to the Diagnostic-Consultative Family Centre in Szczecin, were studied due to behaviour disorders or penal acts. Thirteen (10.8%) juveniles were exempted from further studies, since they were diagnosed to have mental deficiency or encephalopathy. The rest was studied by means of diagnostic criteria for behaviour disorders according to DSM-III-R. Those complying with the criteria made up a group with Behaviour Distemper Syndrome (BDS)--74 persons (55 boys and 19 girls), while the others formed a group holding Single Behaviour Distemper (SBD)--33 persons (21 boys and 12 girls). Two age subgroups, 7-14 and 15-17 years, were isolated from each of the groups. Use was made of own questionnaire to collect data concerning factors that might induce the revealed behaviour disorders. Groups BDS and SBD were compared with regard to the type and incidence rate of respective signs of behaviour disorders, according to criteria DSM-III-R, and also the age, sex as well as social background, living environment, and hereditary encumberance, course of pregnancy and delivery, former psychophysical development, use of condiments, somatic disorders actually evidenced, parental and school environmental atmosphere and that of peers of the studied group.
