title: [Psychoneurotic disorders in construction workers separated from their family].
abstract: The study aimed at establishing a correlation between building-site workers living apart from their families in a company's lodgings, and the development of psychic disturbances in their behaviour. The results showed that the type of lodgings did not correlate with the development of psychic disturbances. It was found that younger and unmarried workers living in company's accommodation were more prone to exhibiting those symptoms than workers of the same age living with their families. Neurosis and psychosis were equally present in both groups of workers regardless of the type of living quarters. The results seem to be logical as psychic disturbances also tend to develop in stable social environments. This should make one aware of the importance of predisposition for the development of psychic disturbances in any form of community however protective it may be.
