title: The alienation of youth.
abstract: The family physician can play a crucial role in youth counselling, if he is willing to meet youth on its own grounds. This paper presents a study of dissociated adolescents between the ages of 14 and 20, seen from 1960 to 1969. Parents were encouraged to attend-the key to an improved functioning youth is to be found in improved family function. Depersonalized, routine casework atmosphere must be avoided. Trust must be built up from the start, the counsellor working with the family to work out a solution.
