[Aggressive behavior in adolescent groups].

Aggressive behaviour of adolescents may be based either on an inborn personality structure, or cultivated by training, i.e. the character of punishment. It is encountered in children with organic disorders of the CNS or psychotic disease. A specific case is aggressive behaviour in communities, being found in particular in communities of boys. The authors describe a typical case of an aggressor and the typical profile of the victim. Psychiatric intervention involves psychotherapeutic treatment and influencing of the social and family which should be focused on possible aggressive behaviour.

[Hospitalization of minors at a psychiatric clinic for adults].

The authors analyzed the case-sheets of 45 minors examined and treated in departments for adults at the Psychiatric Clinic, Medical Faculty Comenius University, Bratislava in 1974-1980. The patients comprised 21 girls and 24 boys. Sixty-two case-sheets were analyzed because of repeated hospital admissions. Forty-three hospitalizations concerned adolescents aged 16-17 years. During the last two years of the observation an increase of enforced hospital admissions associated with suicidal attempts and drug dependence was observed. Suicidal attempts occurred in 23.2% of the cases and were demonstrative, affective and seriously meant according to A. E. Licek's classification. All hospital admissions were necessary, frequently urgent and life saving. Hospitalization of adolescents in departments for adults is not an optimal variant of specialized care of youth.
