I analyze, in this paper, the careers of the inmates who came to the institution with conjugal problems. They numbered 96, and are those women who asked for the protection and help of the institution because of marital problems and for whom the institution considered protection or reorganization of life-style at the institution was necessary.
The aims of my analysis are: (1) to study the distinctive career factors and the interrelations between them of "inmates with conjugal problems" (2) to identify some career patterns and inquire into the typical processes in which conjugal problems became manifest, and (3) to examine how such inmates dealt with the problems in relation to their careers. I found six career patterns and described the manifestation process for each. The career factors that are effective in distinguishing the career patterns are "present occupation" "occupation as marriage" "legal status of the marriage" "present membership of the household" "the forms in which the problems manifested themselves" and "husband's present occupation".
