title: [Personality structure and the psychopathologic picture of drug dependent youth].
abstract: Following the examination of 50 young persons addicted to narcotics, an analysis was made of high- and low-anxiety-level groups. It was found that the anxiety data in Cattell's personality questionnaire allows the psychopathological pictures of both groups to be differentiated quite clearly. The high-anxiety-level group is characterized by a larger number of psychic disorders and also showed a higher rate of psychic and physical drug addiction. The low-anxiety-level group was characterized above all by psychopathia and often showed "social" drug addiction only.
