ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the results of our research into the symptoms and emotional conditions found in the delinquent and neurotic children on referral to the clinics. It gives, as it were, a dual picture of the two contrasting groups: (a) as seen by the community which reacts to their ‘nuisance-value’ (i.e. their outwardly observed behaviour), and (b) as seen in the emotional sufferings and psychological symptoms of the disturbed persons (i.e. their inner difficulties as observed in clinical case history records).
