[Are boys less intelligent? A plea for different school admission ages for boys and girls].

This critical survey presents arguments in favour of different dates for admitting boys and girls to school. The authors refer to their own research to demonstrate that differences in the speed of maturing have negative educational consequences for young school children, especially boys, which could be avoided in a future school system with more flexible dates for school entrance.

Behaviour and achievement disorders in children with high intelligence.

With 6% of the patients of a childpsychiatric population using treatment a high intelligence with an IQ of over 120 was the result. This is in agreement with the results by Reinhard (1981), but is below the results by Schmidt (1977) and justifies neither the association to a higher talent as risk factor nor as protective factor in view of a potential psychic illness. 341 child-neuropsychiatric patients with hyperkinetic syndrome (55%), Enuresis (28%), reactions of adaptation (5%), specific emotional disturbances in childhood (4%), Encopresis (3%), Psychalgy (3%) and tics (2%) were studied; thereby 22 highly intelligent patients were compared with average intelligent patients. With high intelligence better performances of concentration, more reflexive style of study, better school notes and more favourable motor capabilities, less pronounced signs of anxiety and neuroticism are found, but also a poorer social adaptation and less favourable effects of treatment. Concerning the poorer chances of treatment with high intelligence however the behaviour-therapeutic concentration of our therapy has to be pointed out, which might not offer an optimal chance for development.

[Remarks on sports education from the viewpoint of the pediatric neuropsychiatrist].

On the basis of studies reporting a deficiency of physical activities among pupils, possible causes are considered from the viewpoint of a child psychiatrist. Age-related particularities of developmental physiology and psychology lead to different attitudes concerning physical activities. Physical education at school does not sufficiently take into account these particularities nor does it sufficiently stimulate motivations for a good sport performance. A desirable alternative would be to offer a wide spectrum of freely chooseable but pedagogically supervised spare time sports.

[Value of "suture bones" in the diagnosis of minor brain damage in early childhood].

In a sample of 278 children with normal intelligence and behaviour disorders the x-rays of the craniums were analysed especially on the aspect of suture bones. They were related to the clinical total diagnosis "Minimal Brain Damage". Statistically significant relations between the appearance of suture-bones and other cranium anomalies as well as between clinical total diagnosis "MBD" were to be found. So the results by D. Müller on the clinical value of suture-bones are supported.

[Pediatric neuropsychiatric characteristics of behaviorally abnormal children].

By means of integrative medical-psychological examinations in children with abnormal behaviour we found pathological signs in the ratings of parents and teachers, in the concentration efficiency, in the rate of impulsivity and in those cases in which there were mild symptomes of brain damage in the early childhood. In the intellectual and motorial efficiencies and in selfratings we could'nt establish any change compared with normal population.

[Diagnostic value of the Meyer-Probst Encephalopathy Questionnaire].

Clinical tests on 117 children with behavioural disturbances showed that the Meyer- Probst encephalopathy questionnaire can be used to distinguish between encephalopathic and nonencephalopathic children. It is thus a valuable addition to the diagnostic methods in clinical use and is also a useful instrument for progress checks.

[On the question of parenchyma damage caused by long-term therapy with psychotropics in adolescence].

For 341 patients treated with psychotropics over different periods of time and with different dosages laboratory examinations were carried out in order to discover as far as possible toxic damage of the parenchyma of liver, kidneys, and blood-formation systems. Statistically secured differences of some liver functions and of the serum creatinine between treated and untreated patients were seen for which, however, no sufficient indication of direct toxic damage was found. The deviations were interpreted as allergic and caused by enzyme induction.
