Having analyzed an inpatient group of children and adolescents suffering from psychopathy, the authors have succeeded in specifying some clinical, social, and age-linked regularities determining the developmental pattern of these forms of psychic pathology. Of definite interest are also data on the relative proportion of various forms of psychopathies in children who are in need of hospital treatment and the results of a comparative analysis of the therapy-induced changes in psychopathy seen in various age groups of junior schoolchildren and of adolescents.
