title: Teenagers in today's society.
abstract: The alienation of the adolescent and late-adolescent of western societies in the late 60s and into the 70s has created disturbances which show up as 'illness' in families and youth. This article discusses the aetiology of such illness, and suggests an approach to the problem by counselling rather than by the use of drugs.
