INTRODUCTION Personal disorganization represents the behavior of the individual which deviates from the social norms. lt results in social disapproval which may express itself in a wide variety of degrees. The individual may also react in different ways. A disorganized person is one who is uncoordinated unbalanced and one sided.

3. DEFINITION “Social disorganization is the process by which the relationships between members of a group are broken or dissolved”. -Elliott and Merrill "Social disorganization is a disturbance in the patterns and mechanisms of human relations”. -R. E. L. Faris

4. STAGES OF PERSONAL DISORGANIZATION Queen and Mann have pointed out three stages in individual or personal disorganization. The stages are: First Stage: In the first stage there is a problem and the individual attempts to find a solution. But if the individual fails to find a solution, he loses his stability.

5. Second Stage: In the second stage of personal disorganization, some persons may reach the third stage without even passing through the second stage. Therefore, the third stage becomes important. Third Stage: In the third stage the individual loses his stability, he may have a nervous breakdown. If there is no satisfactory solution the individual enters upon more or less permanently unadjusted. For example, the criminal or the prostitutes who have lost all sense of social values. This personal disorganization may also lead to insanity or suicide.

6. CAUSES OF PERSONAL DISORGANIZATION The chief causes of personal disorganizations are as follows: 1) Conflict of Personal attitudes and social norms : The attitudes and interests of man keep changing with time and the changes in society. Everyone tries to behave within the limits set by society, but due to strong passions or sudden emotional fit man commits a violation of the social norms

7. 2) Abnormalities of Personality : Some individuals develop strong complexes early in life which impede their successful adjustment with society . For example. Abnormally short and abnormally tall persons experience considerable difficulty in this matter. 3) Personal Disabilities : Due to mental and physical complexes person is unable to make proper adjustments. A person with syphilitic heredity or mongolism or some other abnormalities, can not be a good member of society.
