Non Verbal Children A Follow Up Study of Five Children Known to Catholic Charities Guidance Institute of the Archdiocese of New York From 1953 to 1958
Abstract
The contributions of psychiatry in the twentieth century have more clearly indicated the important relationship of childhood development and mental illness. We are especially indebted to Sigmund Freud for his recognition of the dynamic importance of the experiences in early life and the importance of parental attitudes and influences on the growing child. We still lack understanding about the continuity between emotional alterations occurring in childhood to psychotic and neurotic disturbances in adults. The continued contributions of child psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers are of fundamental importance in an attempt to clarify the sources of mental illness.
