Neurotic Disorders of Childhood: Including a Study of Auto and Intestinal Intoxications, Chronic Anaemia, Fever, Eclampsia, Epilepsy, Migraine, Chorea, Hysteria, Asthma, Etc (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Neurotic Disorders of Childhood: Including a Study of Auto and Intestinal Intoxications, Chronic Anaemia, Fever, Eclampsia, Epilepsy, Migraine, Chorea, Hysteria, Asthma, Etc

In these papers I made an effort to study the physi ological peculiarities of the immature nervous Systems of infants and children, and to note the all - important bear ing which these peculiarities had in producing and in giv ing individuality to the neuroses of childhood.

It is a well-known fact that infants and children are especially predisposed to serious and complicated nerv ous disorders, and that this class of diseases has been very little understood by the general practitioner, and has, in fact, not been a matter of special study by neurologists.

For these reasons I decided to revise the papers previously published in the Archives of Pediatrics and make of them the nucleus of a book on the Neurotic Dis orders of Childhood.
