(1982). adjustment to work or school (such as no job, criminal acts, admission to an institution, abuse <strong>of</strong> organic solvent or other drugs). Twenty-nine were in good social adjustment, 2 were in relatively poor adjustment, and 11 were in poor conditions. Forty-two cases were divided into two groups: a group <strong>of</strong> 29 good cases, and a group <strong>of</strong> 13 poor or unstable cases (table 7). Between the two groups, factors concerning family backgrounds and present living conditions that might have a relationship to the prognosis <strong>of</strong> a client were examined using a chi-square test. A significant difference was observed concerning the influence <strong>of</strong> marital and economic status. Subjects who had a spouse presently living with him or her and who had good economic conditions had a favorable prognosis, but alcoholism and gambling by the father and the mother’s holding <strong>of</strong> a job at a bar or similar establishment significantly indicated unfavorable prognosis. 129

(1982). The survey revealed that 69.0 percent <strong>of</strong> clients were evaluated to be adapting well, which means many <strong>of</strong> them matured and grew out <strong>of</strong> their abuse when they became older. However, several subjects still continued solvent inhalation or changed to abuse <strong>of</strong> methamphetamine. As mentioned earlier, solvent abusers in the hospital population tended to be solitary dependent users in advanced stages <strong>of</strong> abuse. Personality characteristics included asocial and amotivational behavior, <strong>of</strong>ten accompanied by symptoms <strong>of</strong> mental problems. LONGITUDINAL SUBSTANCE USE PATTERN IN SOLVENT ABUSERS A longitudinal study <strong>of</strong> substance abuse among 51 psychiatric patients who once had experienced solvent inhalation suggests three pattern types <strong>of</strong> abuse. Type I is exclusive solvent use, with a limited amount <strong>of</strong> alcohol and tobacco use (figure 5). The patients <strong>of</strong> this type are younger, and the durations <strong>of</strong> their abuse is shorter. Two schizophrenics were in this group, and they exhibited asocial and withdrawal behavior but had no history <strong>of</strong> delinquency. 130
