Abstract
SUMMARY: In this essay the plight of “unattached” adolescents in the West End of London is considered in the light of Erikson's concept of an adolescent “moratorium”. The suggestion is made that the district of Soho fulfils many of the necessary conditions for such a “moratorium” and the fate of adolescents who select this particular environment for this purpose is explored. Some consideration is also given to the caretaking resources provided by the community within the district.Keywords
