The research were conducted with 60 socially maladjusted - men and women. The analyses were made in whole group and in subgroups of sex. As a result we found high intensity of the problems, specially in the subgroup of women. The intensity of the problems is essentially higher in the subgroups of women than men. Some variables reveal essential correlations with the problems intensity of maladjusted men or women. The content of the problems made us know, that a part of the maladjustment problems are common and the most of them are specific to the maladjusted group.
