Bad Adjustments

Most adolescents are able in
the course Of time to make their
own adjustments and when they
eventually arrive at the age Of, let
US say, 20, they have found them
selves. But there remain a large
number who make bad adjust
ments.
They seldom turn into out and
out psychiatric cases, but they are
on the borderline and are likely to
take one Of three behavior paths:
the paranoid who believes others
pick on him, resents correction
and is always dissatisfied; the shy,
seclusive person who retires into
day-dreaming and fantasy forma-
ton; and the defiant, anti-social,
offensive youth, the leader of re-
bellious groups. All of these
moods occur mildly in all adde's
cents and do little harm, but occa-
sionally they become fixed and are
more or less serious.
The causes, aside from the in
herent cause Of being an adde's
cent. are the over-solicitous mother
who prevents the child from grow
ing up and hence makes him unable
to hold his OWN in competition; the
stern father who sets standards
too high for the child to reach;
physical defects, magnitied by
over-zealous parents and others,
which are really trivial Ia common
one is acne or pimples); and rela-
tive mental dullness in a child who
is made to compete with children
Of higher intelligence.
Medical Problems
Now many Of these basically In
volve medical problems and it is an
interesting suggestion that these
young people should be encour-
aged TO consult a family doctor
or general practitioner. Plainly,
the parents are the worst people
TO guide the adolescent: they have
often made him what he is.
The method the doctor uses is
explanation, reinsurance and de-
sensiti.d ton. The adolesccnt must
be permitted to unburden himself
completely, encouraged by tactful
questioning. and in the absence of
any disciplinary or condemnatory
atmosphere. The doctor is in a
special position to rectify or ex-
plain the minor, embarrassing
physical disabilities that may be
harassing the patient and is in a
much better position than the par
ents 70 explain and discuss the sex
problems and questions that par
tlcularly beset this period of life.
Change May Be Needed
He may have to try to alter the
family situation, to change certain
phases Of the curriculum in school,
to direct athletic activities.
Hopeful it is that the family
doctor who is doctor Of the mind
as we'll as the body should be
called in. 1t is a great advance
over the treatment these young
sters have been getting in the
past.

 This Saturday, the Coast Guard CTS play Worcester away, while wesleyan plays host to Bowdoin at Middletown.
 Trinity came out of Schenectady with a 19-190 tie with Union. The Hartford team had the game sewed up until the final minutes, when Union put on an aerial display which tie dthe score and blasted the victory hopes of the invaders. Trim ity meets Bates at Hartford this week.
