Annotation	The goal of this study is to offer a concept of a psychosocial need inquiry in young psychotic patients. Theoretically, the study is based on the Erik Erikson's concept of a human development, and the autor tried to acknowledge the extent to what a young psychotic patient can show out psychosocial needs inherent to a stable individual. The author interested whether the individual is concerned and in a position to cut adrift from his prime family, to look for a fellow, and to fulfil himself in the realm of occupation. The inquiry was applied to twenty patients, contacted during their hospitalization. Source of the examination was a patient a significant other an attending psychiatrist, and a psychosocial worker. Data were gleaned by methods of a questionnaire, and an interview.Based on the data obtained it was possible to verify the research question confirming the psychosocial needs according to Erikson´s theory. Patients were unambiguously interested to have a fellow relationship, and to feel fulfilled in their lives. In respect of cutting adrift from prime family there appeared to be ambivalent attitudes.
Keywords	psychosis, need cut adrift, partnership, fulfil oneself.
