Resonsibility Cluster - Immature Adjustments
Back to Intro

E. The Immature adjustments (A-, I-, S-, C- ).

These adjustments show neither compensation nor modification within the "Responsibility Cluster," and accordingly they are adult manifestations of unreconstructed, Primitive personalities. While Gittinger could find one relatively competent adaptation among 32 Arrested adjustments, he identifies none among the Immature constellations (unless one considers prostitution as productive adjustment). Among E's they are the hallmarks of behavior disorder: selfish, impulsive, undisciplined, explosive, and chaotic. None of these adjustments have anything to offer to responsible operational efforts and thus any effort to differentiate among them becomes a wholly theoretical and academic exercise.
