Intrapsychic Changes among Juvenile Delinquents in 1981-98 as Studied by PORT, Percept-Genetic Object-Relation Test.
Da Silva, Eva; Ellbin, Susanne; Marne, Eva; Nilsson, Alf; Svensson, Bengt
Early Child Development and Care, v149 p71-85 Feb 1999
Used projective techniques to examine trends in the psychic state of juvenile delinquents. Found that delinquents showed greater signs of psychopathology than a normal control group. Those tested in 1981-84 displayed depression and identity diffusion, in contrast to those tested in 1990-98, who showed dissolution anxiety, lack of attachment relationships, and transitional phenomena, similar to borderline adults.
