Cerebral dysfunction and behavior disorders in adolescents.

Abstract

Abnormal functioning of the central nervous system, associated with a variety of causes, functional and structural, and present before birth or in the first five years of life, may result in behavioral and perceptual distortions and in specific learning disabilities. By adolescence these distortions often have become further encrusted with all sorts of emotional difficulties. They appear as a composite of the underlying organically determined behavior pattern and the special defensive and adaptational mechanisms of the particular adolescent to the people and situations which surround him. Proper diagnosis and treatment call for a manifold approach, herein described.
