SUMMARYA great deal has still to be learned on the various ways in which brain damage predisposes children to psychiatric disorder. Research has shown that many of the stereotypes of “the brain damaged child” were mistaken and misleading. But, equally, studies have clearly shown the major importance of brain damage as a factor contributing in a substantial way to the genesis of child psychiatric disorder. Treatment methods have still to be evaluated but already there are pointers as to how psychiatric disorders in neurologically impaired or brain damaged children should be treated. In dismissing over simplified catch phrase concepts concerning brain damage syndromes it is important not to overlook the reality of the problems to which they re

摘要:

SUMMARYA total survey of psychiatric symptoms of primary school children attending three schools in economically distinct areas of Uganda was made. The symptoms were compared with those displayed by primary school aged children committed to a reform school and patients attending a child psychiatric outpatient clinic in the same country. Results indicate that high and low scoring school children and reform school children have different family backgrounds. There was good correlation between parent and teachers in identifying disturbed youngsters and characteristic diagnostic patterns of school and clinic children. The significance of these findings is discussed in terms of the role child psychiatry may play in developing countries.

摘要:

SUMMARYA controlled investigation was conducted to assess the relative effectiveness of amitriptyline and methylphenidate for treating hyperactive/aggressive behavior in children originally referred to a learning clinic. Behavioral change was measured through parent and teacher ratings. Drug effects on attention, short term memory, and impulsivity were evaluated with laboratory tasks. It was found that both drugs were largely comparable in attenuating hyperactivity and aggression. Of the laboratory measures, only attention was improved by both drugs. However, neither medication interfered with functioning on the other laboratory tests. With the exception of and trip by line‐induced sedation, side effects were of minor degree. Findings raised questions concerning measuring and improving attentiveness. Differences between results of this and other studies were discussed, as were issues regarding pharmacotherapy with amitriptyline in childre

摘要:

SUMMARYBehavioral assessment and diagnostic testing procedures were developed to evaluate the treatment of an 8‐yr‐old boy with a pronounced gender disturbance. When a combined response‐cost and verbal prompt contingency was applied, the single target mannerism of limping‐the‐wrist markedly decreased and response generalization of the treatment effect occurred to other mannerisms. Behavior therapy procedures successfully suppressed feminine voice inflections, doll‐play, and predominant play with girls, and increased masculine play. The treatment effects were replicated in a multiple‐baseline intrasubject design. The 2‐yr independent follow‐up found a marked shift to normal gende

摘要:

SUMMARYA group of relatively able autistic children were compared with controls paired with the experimental subjects for sex, age, and nonverbal ability in a test of alternation and sequencing behaviour, and response to novelty. The autistic children showed reduced alternation and response to novelty. Their sequences also showed a tendency to follow strict rules at all ages and ability levels, which was not the case in the control group, and rulebound sequencing correlated negatively with response to novelty by the autistic children, which, again, was not the case in the control group. Results are discussed primarily in relation to the possibility of perseveration as a fundamental disturbance in autism. The potential relevance of the findings to hypotheses concerning the neuropathology of autism was also discussed.

摘要:

SUMMARYPrevious investigators have identified several intellective and personality variables thought to be related to imaginary companion phenomena in young children. In the current study, the presence or absence of imaginary companions was assessed and related to intelligence, several creativity measures, and waiting ability in 84 preschool children comprised equally of boys and girls. No significant differences were found for these major variables between those children who had imaginary companions and those who did not. The findings arc compared with previous descriptive, and empirical literature on imaginary companions. Directions for future research on imaginary companion phenomena are briefly discussed.
