Behavioral management of the hyperactive child.

This paper provides a general outline of the principles of behavioral management of the hyperactive child. The use of stimulant medications and special considerations in school are briefly discussed and then suggestions for initial parent counseling, family assessment, and the analysis of specific behavior problems are reviewed. Techniques of behavioral management are presented for the younger hyperactive child (3 to 7 years) and for the older hyperactive child (8 to 13 years). Among management techniques discussed are positive reinforcement, extinction procedures, and punishment through isolation. The problems involved in the use of corporal punishment are outlined as well as specific guidelines for parents as to when and how corporal punishment can be used effectively. A step-by-step summary of how to employ a token economy to manage both home and school behavior problems in older hyperactive children is presented.

Minimal brain dysfunction and borderline personality adjustment.

Clinical experience shows that many patients diagnosed as having a borderline personality structure show a history of minimal brain dysfunction in childhood. Neurologically based dysfunctions create disruptions of drive level, perception, basic language structure, and cognition which form a constitutional basis for the distortions of early object relations. A treatment program considering both biogenic and psychogenic etiology is outlined.
