A study has been made of psychiatric and behavioural disturbances in a limited group of 60 adolescent Aborigines in Victoria, interviewed between February and July, 1967, in and around Melbourne and in three country areas. The disturbances have been equated against home conditions and family background. The results have been compared with a small group of Aborigines adopted by white families.
