The authors compared parent-related perceptions by hospitalized adolescents (i.e., who were admitted to a specialized psychiatric unit; n = 50) and delinquent adolescents (i.e., who were placed at a juvenile treatment institution; n = 51) with adolescents from the general population (n = 51). All adolescents completed a broad set of measures of attachment, perceived parenting, and separation-individuation. Contrary to initial expectations, hospitalized adolescents scored higher than controls on indices of excessive autonomy. Ambivalence regarding issues of interpersonal closeness and distance was found among delinquent adolescents. In addition, hospitalized and delinquent adolescents were found to be struggling, each in their specific way, with attachment-related experiences of trauma. Finally, delinquent adolescents also showed a stage-appropriate form of potentially adaptive narcissism. These findings add to the growing consensus in the literature that associations between adolescent psychopathology and parent-related perceptions are typically complex and somewhat counterintuitive.
作者将住院青少年（即入住专门精神科病房的青少年；n = 50）、违法青少年（即安置在青少年治疗机构的青少年；n = 51）与普通人群中的青少年（n = 51）在与父母相关的认知方面进行了比较。所有青少年都完成了一系列广泛的关于依恋、感知到的养育方式以及分离-个体化的测量。与最初的预期相反，住院青少年在过度自主指标上的得分高于对照组。在违法青少年中发现了在人际亲密和距离问题上的矛盾情绪。此外，研究发现住院青少年和违法青少年各自以其特定的方式，在与依恋相关的创伤经历中挣扎。最后，违法青少年还表现出一种符合阶段的潜在适应性自恋形式。这些发现进一步支持了文献中日益增长的共识，即青少年心理病理学与与父母相关的认知之间的关联通常是复杂的，而且有点违反直觉。
