[Social unsuitability in the developmental age. Hypothesis for new structures helping social adjustment]

In this report the Authors analise, according to their different competences, from a psychiatric, psycho-sociological, and of judicial politics point of view, a case of neurosis of conflict during adolescence, with an anti-social development, regarding which it has been ascertained that the measures of restoration, which have been adopted, have failed their purpose. They have, as a matter of fact, paradoxically fixed the subject even more in his anti-social condition, not giving him the possibility of escaping the psycho-pathological destiny of negative sociopatic deviation. The Authors, in this report, reflect upon the meaning of the Institutes of restoration and punishment in the light of the new re-educational conceptions, pointing out their limits. They long for the institution of supplementary structures of little dimensions in the bosom of the family, well integrated with the school, the working milieu, and the local community and wish the structures of restoration for anti-social disadaptations to stop from being static Institutions far from the real social problems of a democratic life, in order to become centers of social democratic life and places of comparison, according to a dialectic method of knowledge, between subculture as deviation (which is not always negative) and the dominating culture with its needs and rules.
