The Influence of Organic and Emotional Factors on the Origins, Nature and Outcome of Childhood Psychosis

Abstract: SUMMARY I believe that child psychosis is not part of schizophrenia. It is a disorder which is usually associated with receptive and executive speech defects. These are often, but not always, part of a more general organic damage to the brain. Other disorders of perception are probably important in some children. Psychosis is not primarily emotional in origin and psychogenic factors usually play only a secondary role in the development of the condition. However, the child's emotional relationships may be funda… Show more

“…The parents' objectively held conviction of the importance of these factors has been impressive. Rutter (1965Rutter ( , 1968 has previously com-mented on the association of psychosocial triggering factors in some cases of infantile psychosis, pointing out that these events are no more than the usual stresses all children are subjected to at one time or another. On the other hand, the r81e of stress as a precipitating factor in psychiatric illness has been recently reviewed by Schless et ul.…”

“…Already in his original text on infantile autism of 1943, Kanner suggested that autism was primarily an innate and biological disorder, although he later seemed to temporarily adopt psychoanalytic views as well . In the 1960s and 1970s, after the wane of the popularity of psychoanalytic explanations in many countries (see Rutter, for example), autism became firmly entrenched in the minds of professionals, parents, and lay people alike as a biological disorder, one that is considered innate and quite probably lifelong. This conception has led to a proliferation of research into the genetic etiology of autism .…”

“…Bender (1956) and O'Gorman (1967), for example, considered that infantile autism could be included within the general framework of schizophrenia. Other workers-Van Krevelin (1952) and Rutter (1965), for exampleregarded infantile autism as a separate disease from schizophrenia, and thought it resulted from unknown organic changes in the central nervous system. Rimland (1964) considered it a specific dysfunction of the reticular system.…”
