[Psychologic aspects of occupational rehabilitation of adolescents with early infantile brain damage].

Abstract

First results in the occupational rehabilitation of teenagers with brain damage in early childhood demonstrate that in cases of mild brain damage and promising family conditions almost 60% of the volunteers were on the job as skilled workers one year after the education. In the group with severe brain damage and unfavourable family conditions one third of the volunteers were on the job one year after cessation of the education. Several psychodiagnostic, prognostic, and social psychological parameters that cause these results are discussed.
