Major Social and Clinical Psychopathologies in Korean Children and Adolescents

The Korean society has dynamically changed during the last sixty years, bringing about many problems for children and adolescents. This review looks at four prevalent youth problems, including intra-familial violence and abuse, Internet addiction, social isolation, and excessive pressure in education. Analysis of several domestic articles and bibliographies shows that the mentioned problems may be detrimental to a child’s mental health and hinder its normal development. Some phenomena are also closely related to overt clinical syndromes or psychopathologies. The Korean Medical Association initiated a child abuse prevention and treatment program in 2002. Additionally, the Korean Association of Adolescent Psychiatry supported by Prime Ministry Youth Commission is now developing a treatment program and an effective network for the alleviation of Internet addiction in adolescents. Socially isolated adolescents (hikkigomori) and excessive educational pressure (“Ko-sam-pyung”) are a threat to our society due to their complexity and their close relation to the social value system. It is necessary to address these issues.
