THE STUDENT COUNCIL STUDY

A Preliminary Report
Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.107.4.271

The members of student councils of 3 colleges and their parents volunteered for psychiatric and social work studies. They are considered as a normal group selected without any interference by the examiners.

Normality is discussed, and an overall account of 3 generations is given.

Neurotic traits were found in 34 students, 41 parents, and grandparents. Psychoses were seen in no parents and only 2 grandparents.

Again the importance of neurotic traits in able people is suggested.
