Abstract

During the two years following the Hungarian Revolution (1956-1958) the Austrian Society for Mental Health in cooperation with a number of other organizations tried to take care of the mental health of some 180,000 Hungarian refugees. This work was inspired by the World Health Organi- zation (M. Pfister-Ammende and D. Buckle) and financially supported and supervised by the World Federation for Mental Health (J. Rees and B. Barton). A booklet containing a report on some of the work has already been published (1). We were asked by the Austrian Home Office to inves- tigate the vocational abilities of 100 unaccompanied male juveniles between 14--18 years of age, housed in a special home. This work was carried out by two Hungarian psychologists, members of the working group for refugees of the Austrian Society for Mental Health.
