Extract

A group of adolescent girl thieves have been examined by means of the Object Relations Test, in an attempt to estimate some of the psychodynamic factors determining their thieving. These girls are all at an Approved School where psychiatric treatment is given. They are all of average or superior intelligence and from materially good homes and their delinquency has been considered to be neurotic in origin. The age range is from 15 to 19 years.
