SummaryThis paper reports a longitudinal study of behavioural symptoms in 3, 4 and 5 yr old children. The sample consisted of 50 boys and 50 girls living in a working‐class area in Inner London, and information was obtained on maternal health and adjustment to school in addition to the expression of behavioural symptoms at home. The results indicate that while maternal health and behaviour disturbance in the home correlate positively together, with the exception of two symptoms there was no relation at all between behaviour at home and adjustment to school. These results are considered to have implications for the prognostic value of behavioural symptoms as well as for the treatment of young childre

摘要:

SummaryThe literature concerning dementia and disintegrative psychosis in childhood is reviewed. Two cases with different neurodegenerative disorders presenting with late juvenile onset psychiatric symptoms arc described. There appears little point in retaining the eponymous syndromes of de Sanctis and Heller. The diagnostic category of Progressive Disintegrative Psychosis is appropriate to describe the clinical psychiatric picture in these children. Because of the rarity of such conditions further collaboration between child psychiatrists, paediatiric neurologists and neuropathologists is needed to delineate further the psychiatric syndromes associated with the neurodegenerative disorders.

SummaryThe incidence of disruptive adolescent behaviour at the Youth Treatment Centre varies according to the attitudes of staff on duty, It is argued that incident‐prone staff believe difficult behaviour to be “internally caused”, which does not reflect the re

摘要:

SummaryOf 63 adolescents with spina bifida, most had had some form of sex education. The source was much more often schools and parents than their peers. Sexual interest was almost universally acknowledged and was of a markedly pre‐occupying nature in about one‐quarter of the cases. Some level of physical intimacy in heterosexual relationships had been established by 18 teenagers at some time or another, but boys, in particular, were deeply worried about their capacity to establish full sexual relations. A capacity for potency was claimed by about half the boys. Worries and uncertainties were very common amongst the older subjects and there is a strong case for a programme of group and individual counselling lo be establis

摘要:

SummaryHyperactive and control children, originally observed in a research nursery at age 4 and then followed‐up at 6 1/2, were observed in their elementary school classrooms at 7 1/2. Hyperactive children received more negative feedback from teachers, engaged in more disruptive behaviour, were rated by their teachers as more hyperactive, and expressed somewhat lower self‐esteem than controls. However, comparisons between classrooms with hyperactive and control children suggested that the presence of a hyperactive child may influence interaction patterns between the teacher and the class as a whole. Moreover, observer presence influenced teachers' positive behaviours toward the child being obser

摘要:

SummaryEstimates of auditory and visual attention to narrative material presented on a video system were obtained from groups of normal and mentally retarded children. Visual attention was relatively high, and consistently so across time. In comprehension tests, success was greatest on items which could be answered from visual attention alone, then on items which could be answered from either visual or auditory attention, then on items which could be answered from auditory attention alone. Interpretation of these results is discussed, and possible implications indicated both for remedial work with retarded children, and for techniques in basic research with normal children.

摘要:

SummaryA behavioural programme was initiated to treat directly the symptom of elective mutism in a seven year old girl. Therapy Was instituted consequent on the consideration that the child had established a good relationship with the therapist during previous psycho therapeutic sessions. The programme involved gradually introducing the therapist into the treatment room while the child read into a tape‐recorder, The child's verbal responses to the written word were transferred to the spoken word by degrees. Finally, the class teacher helped transfer the activities to the classroom where six children were included in the programme. The entire programme took place over a period of four week

摘要:

SummaryChildren's knowledge of left and right was compared with their knowledge of up and down by asking them to state in which direction the black half of a circle was facing: up, clown, left, or right. For 27 boys between 6J and 11 years, the percentage of correct identifications of up and down exceeded the percentage correct of left and right, especially for the younger children. This result was also found for eight other boys who were poor readers but of normal intelligence. The poor readers did not differ from the normal readers in their ability to tell left from right or up from down, although, if an error were made, the poor readers were more likely than the normal readers to make a mirror‐image erro
