“…In this study, SWY families had lower scores in cohesion, active‐recreational orientation, organization, and control as compared to normal control families, which may indicate the familial problems of SWY. Tyerman's and Humphrey's study on psychiatric outpatient families reported low scores in cohesion and active‐recreational orientation, similar to our study. Lower scores in organization and control indicated difficulties in setting family rules and systems.…”

Aim The problems of youth social withdrawal (or hikikomori) became a hot‐button social issue in Japan in the 1990s. Unfortunately, current nosology in the DSM‐IV may not adequately capture the concept of socially withdrawn youth (SWY) or hikikomori. This study aimed to investigate core SWY issues, evaluate SWY's psychopathologies, and approach them therapeutically through a home visitation program. Methods Participants were 65 youth referred by community mental health centers and psychiatric clinics around Seoul and Kyongki‐Do province. Among them, only 41 participants (31 male, 10 female, mean age 15 ± 3.6 years) fit our SWY criteria. In addition, 248 middle and high school students in Seoul were recruited as a baseline control group. Caseworkers interviewed the SWY participants and their parents in their homes, using our structured interview manual and a number of psychiatric scales. Caseworkers also approached the participants therapeutically. Results Participants' Depression Inventory, Trait Anxiety Inventory, Social Anxiety Scale, and Internet Addiction Scale scores were significantly higher than those of baseline controls. Participants' mean number of psychotherapeutic sessions was 2.8, and the mean number of parental interview sessions was 3.4. After the therapeutic sessions, Global Assessment Functioning scores and social activities had improved somewhat in 68.3% of participants. Conclusion These findings suggest that SWY is a complex phenomenon, so an individual psychopathologic process is very important for treatment. The most difficult problem in SWY treatment was therapeutic access. Hence, the home visit approach with a structured manual may be a good gateway for solving this problem.

“…Another potential crisis may emerge as a result of a rapid change in status (Tyerman & Humphrey, 1981). The end of high school places the graduate almost overnight in a new and unfamiliar status.…”

The present study was an attempt to analyze the problem of suicide in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Suicide is increasing among populations aged 18–21, which in Israel is the age when most young people are called up for a 3‐year period of compulsory military service. The service may have a catalytic effect on suicide, but on the other hand may serve as a control mechanism reducing suicide. The study used data for the period 1974–1985, and examined suicide in combat and noncombat units by duration of service and by preservice psychiatric, medical, and motivational data. The suicide groups were also compared with a matched sample of nonsuicide groups along the relevant variables. The findings seem to be consistent with some established theoretical perspectives of situational stress, social support, and status incompatibility, and seem to bear practical implications for the reduction of suicide.
