Grau, Phyllis Nelson – G/C/T, 1986
Two profiles of underachievement are described: the Peter Pan Syndrome, characterized by irresponsibility, anxiety, loneliness, sex role conflict, and narcissism, and the scapegoating phenomenon, in which children acquire negative self-images from victimization experiences. Prognoses and recommendations for each are offered. (Author/CL)
