[Disturbances of mental development in infants and preschool children. Their recognition and treatment (author's transl)].

After a short introduction setting out the importance of development dimensions for the understanding of disturbances of development and some statistics on the frequency of peculiarities of behavior in the preschool age, some disorders of mental development of practical importance in the first years of life are dealt with. Psychomotor disturbances, disorders of speech and speaking and emotional and contact disturbances are emphasized.

[Psychosocial consequences of head injuries in children (author's transl)].

Psychosocial consequences of head injuries in children can be understood in terms of an interaction between pretraumatic conditions, conditions and sequelae of the trauma (injury) and posttraumatic factors. The results of these interactions in the area of psychosocial functioning can be defined as effects on development in general as well as effects on school behaviour, occupational and family situation. Taking into account these factors, and the reaction of the famility, two major reactions can be identified: (1) Insisting on the until now practised attitude to the child, (2) Abrupt changing of the attitude to the child after head injury. Both reactions lead to an inadequate handling of the child and in consequence to overtax or overprotection. Finally, also the reaction of the child has to be taken into account. It should be integrated into the rehabilitation program. There seem to be differences between children with slight and severe head injuries.

[The influence of thioridazin (Melleril-Sandoz) on psychomotor functions, concentration power and reactivity in children with behaviour disturbances (author's transl)].

Starting with a brief review of literature about the application of Melleril (Thioridazine) in child psychiatry the authors report a double blind study with 26 children (23 boys and 3 girls at the age of 6 to 14). These children were admitted to clinical treatment because of several behavior disorders. Drug effects on psychomotor activity, concentration power and reactivity were measured by the d2-Test (Brickenkamp), by a tapping experiment, a psychomotor experimental (tracing) and experiments with the Vienna determination apparatus. As compared to the placebo group a statistically significant increase was found in the experimental group in the tapping experiment as well as in one stage of the concentration test. No difference between the groups could be noted in tracing and in the performance of the Vienna determination apparatus. It is suggested that the finding result from a different ability in visuo-motor information processing without or under the drug. Accordingly Melleril seems to advance performance in simply structured motor tasks, whereas complex choice reactions rather appear to be rendered more difficult under this medication.
