A discussion on the pitfalls of studying adolescent psychiatric breakdown emphasises two difficulties, firstly that of delineating the age of adolescence, and secondly the difficulty in applying adult diagnostic criteria. A study of 52 adolescents has been made to establish an initial, and a two year follow-up diagnostic formulation, and to attempt through a detailed survey of the adolescent's early history to identify prognostic indices. The difficulty of formal diagnoses is shown, but prognostic factors of relevance can be identified in the group which have helpful predictive value. Outcome in a group of 50 treated adolescents showed a satisfactory conclusion at two year follow-up, in 70% of cases.
一场关于研究青少年精神崩溃陷阱的讨论强调了两个困难，首先是界定青春期年龄的困难，其次是应用成人诊断标准的困难。对52名青少年进行了一项研究，以建立初始诊断和为期两年的随访诊断方案，并试图通过对青少年早期经历的详细调查来确定预后指标。研究表明了进行正式诊断的困难，但在该群体中可以识别出具有有益预测价值的相关预后因素。一组50名接受治疗的青少年在两年随访时的结果显示，70%的病例得出了令人满意的结论。
