The Neurotic School Child

چکیده
become sufficiently evident from the subsequent discussion of the specific types. Most neuroses, as recent investigation has shown, have their ultimate origin, not in adult life, but during childhood; and, as a rule, the neurosis in the grownup person is continuous with the neurosis of the child. During childhood itself a nervous affection of this kind may hinder mental growth and hamper normal education; it may even, if undetected, turn the child into a dunce or a delinquent. Many children, brought by parents or teachers for special examination as suspected cases of mental defect, prove upon enquiry to be suffering from what is merely or mainly a neurosis. Many young criminals are highly neurotic; and their crimes and naughtiness are often either symptoms of, or substitutes for, one of the more generally recognised forms of functional disorder. To obtain precise figures for the prevalence of neurotic conditions among children of school age is by no means easy. Such conditions require for accurate diagnosis something more than one brief interview; and merge in their milder forms so gradually into normal health that it is extremely hard to offer any clearcut standard of subnormality, or to draw any definite line of demarcation.
