Childhood Schizophrenia: A Description of 27 Cases Through the Study of the Diagnostic Process at the Brooklyn Catholic Charities Guidance Clinic, Children's Services
Abstract
Childhood schizophrenia is one of the most baffling illnesses confronting humanity.Social workers are the largest single professional group serving the mentally ill in the community. A large percentage of the mentally ill are afflicted with schizophrenia. The present state of our knowledge about schizophrenia is still at the first rudimentary level of scientific research, that is, the phenomenological level. Hopefully, with increased sophistication in research, and with a growing fund of knowledge, descriptive data will become more rigorous and more immediately usable towards the understanding of the nature of schizophrenia and eventually towards the institution of measures for prevention and or treatment of this disease.
