    Author: Fischer H, Smrekär U, Rathner G.
    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1985; 20(2):177-84. PubMed ID: 3991225.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective study we analysed the records of inpatient treated adolescents. It was of particular interest to investigate the "treated prevalence" of psychogenic problems in puberty and our therapeutic results. Within the 13-16 years old adolescent group we predominantly found the following disorders: depressive reaction, attempted suicide, but also a variety of psychosomatic disorders in respiratory, cardiovascular and musculo-skeletal system, and patients with anorexia nervosa. The structures and interactional profiles of the families with an adolescent patient are described. In family therapy, cooperation was especially difficult with parents of patients with an attempted-suicide. Despite the chronicity of the disorders in our sample our ratings of treatment results and the results of a follow-up questionnaire returned from the parents showed a good improvement. Out-patient therapy had worse results than in-patient therapy due to a drop-out rate of approximately 25-50%.
