This paper maintains that the preventive medical model is inappropriate for dealing with childhood developmental disorders. The history of preventive medicine is traced briefly, and its adoption by the mental hygiene, child guidance, and community mental health movements is discussed. It is concluded that a program of screening, diagnosis, and treatment for poor children will have negative consequences for those it is meant to serve
