Summary/Abstract: From the theoretical and experimental working of H.Selye, the theories and concepts about stress and reacting modalities of human persons, have covered the whole gamut of psychological trends, from the psycoanalytic one to the cognitive one. The attitudes of the authors and researchers varied also from an absolute denying of this concept, to its unconditioned acceptance and to attribute it an essential part in all the unsolved problems. The author presents her own research about stress adolescents from natural families and institutionalised adolescents.
