Delinquent girls: Observations of their styles within a cottage setting

An attempt was made to understand by means of testing, interviews, and observations the individual and group psychodynamics of 13 delinquent girls in one cottage of a girls' training school. The girls were individuals almost uniformly impoverished in ego skills and consequently showed a great deal of role diffusion and could deal only with the immediate and present. Group interaction was dominated by a core group of four girls who represented the stable power structure of the cottage. With the exception of one dyadic relationship, most other relationships between the girls were transient (lasting one or two weeks) and of low emotional intensity. Overall, a girl's homosexual involvement was predictive of her total social involvement because of its index of the ability to relate emotionally to others.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/43956/1/10578_2005_Article_BF01435060.pd

The counterphobic defense in children

The clinical data for this study were derived from the case histories of five children who consistently used the counterphobic defense either alone or in combination with phobic attitudes. The children's manifestations of this defense appeared in both verbal and nonverbal behavioral patterns. The choice of defensive style was found related to at least three factors: an early history of trauma, especially separation, parental encouragement of “toughness,” and essentially a counterphobic family style.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/43947/1/10578_2005_Article_BF01433642.pd
