Poor School Achievement: A Psychiatric Study and Classification.

Over the past few years, the author has developed a classification of children's emotional disorders and, in Part I, has presented and discussed the place of school achievement problems in this classification. A recapitulation of Part I will be found in the summary. The categories of the classification suggest a direction of management. Part II continues the analysis of the case records of the 162 consecutively referred children who are the subjects of these papers. It describes the treatment methods applied as determined by the classification categories, the case management decisions made at the end of the evaluation period, and the results of a two-year follow up study.
