Studies on the hyperactive child-VII
Twenty hyperactive children were compared with neurotic and normal controls. Hyperactive children showed significantly more neurological abnormalities, principally an excess of soft signs reflecting sensorimotor incoordination, but no differences in major neurological signs, EEG abnormalities, or medical history. It is hypothesized that chronic hyperactivity in children of normal IQ is a disorder discrete from neurosis and is probably an organic …
Effects of hospitalization
The prevalence of behavior symptoms in younger elementary school children
The frequency of fifty-five behavior symptoms was studied in the entire kindergarten through grade two population of a midwestern university town. Many symptoms proved to be of high frequency; boys had a greater number of symptoms with a marked excess of acting out than did girls. Generally speaking, the mean number of symptoms per child decreased with age in both sexes
The effect of general anesthesia, surgery and hospitalization upon the behavior of children
The behavior of 145 United States and Canadian children undergoing tonsillectomy was compared to that of sibs or normal controls. Contrary to the findings of several recent studies, no significant evidence of post-hospitalization upset was found, nor were differences discovered between the Canadian and the U.S. groups
Methylphenidate and thioridazine
Twelve emotionally disturbed underachieving boys in a special education class served as their own controls in a three-factor study: drug (methylphenidate, thioridazine, and placebo), dosage (low and high), and number of stimuli displayed. Methylphenidate significantly increased correct responding, decreased reaction times and hyperactivity, and significantly increased attention and cooperative behavior in the classroom
Confrontation at Ortho 1969
Intensive psychiatric teacher counseling in a low socioeconomic area
The behavioral responses of school children in a low socioeconomic area to maximum stimulation and psychiatric counseling by their teachers is reported. While normal and disturbed children differed significantly in their recorded behavior, no overall therapeutic effect was observed one month, three months, or 12 months after treatment
