Preventive mental health measures can be properly planned only if the various factors leading to the adolescent's personality structure are extensively investigated. Starting with the specific attitudes of a couple towards genetic counselling, the disadvantages of urbanization and of the dissolution of the traditional extended family are discussed with regard to their effect on the younger members. Data are produced concerning the child-rearing practices of Greek in comparison to American parents and their effect on the adolescent's emotional life. Extreme dependence on the family, pressure for school achievements, lack of sexual education, etc. are characteristic of the stresses a Greek adolescent undergoes. Socio-cultural conditions, like immigration, adoption, etc. are shown to have a different psychological effect on an adolescent in Greece than in America. Specific stresses regarding the adolescent's future, like preparing for university entrance examinations, are discussed and preventive measures are proposed.
只有对导致青少年人格结构的各种因素进行广泛调查，才能合理规划预防性心理健康措施。从夫妻对遗传咨询的具体态度入手，讨论城市化和传统大家庭解体的弊端对年轻成员的影响。给出了希腊父母与美国父母育儿方式的数据对比，以及它们对青少年情感生活的影响。希腊青少年所承受的压力特点包括对家庭的极度依赖、学业成绩压力、性教育缺失等。社会文化条件，如移民、收养等，对希腊青少年和美国青少年产生的心理影响有所不同。讨论了青少年未来面临的具体压力，如准备大学入学考试，并提出了预防措施。
