ADOLESCENCE: COPING STRATEGIES AND VULNERABILITIES

The concept of psychiatric vulnerability in the adolescent has a long and curious history. Stretching from ancient Greece to the present day there is a continuous theme promulgated by adults who view adolescents as peculiarly likely to show behaviour indicative of mental disorder. History records how socially undesirable and different behaviour in adolescents was attributed to lunacy, idiocy and hysteria. Hall in 1904 (Hall, 1904), in formulating a psychology of adolescence described that period as typically unpredictable and emotionally unstable. This view was taken up in the psychoanalytic literature which characterised adolescence as a time of storm and stress. This even led to adolescence being designated as a "normal psychosis" (Geleerd, 1961). Fortunately, the myths of adolescence as a disease and of the pathological nature of "adolescent turmoil" can now be safely refuted. The work of Offer and Offer (1975), Rutter et al (1976) and Oldham (1978) demonstrates that the majority of adolescents do not develop psychiatric symptomatology. However, it is equally clear that adolescents who do show psychiatric symptamotology do not simply grow out of it (Masterson, 1967; Weiner & Del Gaudio, 1976).
