title: [Psychosocial functioning of children and adolescents dependent on inhalation of toxic substances].
abstract: Fifty persons of the age of 13 to 18 who had been stuffing themselves with steams of solvents, were medically examined. There were used medical (psychiatrical, neurological, internal) and psychological examinations--with the D. Weschler's scale of intelligence and questionnaire interviews obtaining from those who underwent the examinations and their parents. It was stated that the beginning of the intoxication was mostly preceded by the difficulties in social adjustment. Number of inter-related negative elements of biological and psychosocial nature were at the base of those difficulties from among which the substantial part was taken by disturbed family conditions and irregularly formed (for various reasons) personality of those peoples. The dependency was followed with more and more intensified social difficulties.
