Mobility Status

A 2-year follow-up study assessed the stability of special education students' mobility, status, and classification labels. A total of 1,184 students were selected in fall 1982 from the elementary special education programs of three cities. Two years later, 92% remained in their school district. Of these, 71% stayed in special education with the same classification, 12% remained with a different classification, and 17% were no longer receiving special education services. The child's original primary classification was the strongest predictor of reclassification and termination. Family background contributed most to mobility. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

Over Time

In 1962, Perley and Guze introduced objective criteria for the diagnosis of hysteria (Perley and Guze, 1962). These criteria were essentially a quantification of clinical observations which had appeared in the literature previously, notably in the work of Purtell, Robins and Cohen (1951). The Perley and Guze criteria for the diagnosis of hysteria offered several important advantages. First, they were derived from observations of the natural history of hysteria. They were straightforward and objective, suggesting that they could be used reliably by different clinicians in different places. Second, the criteria were accompanied by a follow-up study which indicated that diagnoses of hysteria made by means of the Perley-Guze criteria would be stable over a six to eight year period in 90 per cent. of cases. Put another way, these criteria selected a population homogeneous in prognosis. The stability of such a population over time is of particular importance. The original Perley-Guze paper and a further study by Gatfield and Guze (1962) both described the prognosis of patients selected by looser criteria. When conversion (pseudoneurologic) symptoms alone were the criteria of diagnosis, patients developed a bewildering array of psychiatric, medical and neurological illnesses within a few short years. In contrast, the Perley-Guze criteria for the diagnosis of hysteria predict prognosis accurately and represent a significant advance in descriptive, clinical psychiatry.

Introduction: Recent research has highlighted an increased rate of co-morbidity between the neurodevelopmental-behavioral disorder of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a variety of psychiatric disorders, such as mood disorders or bipolar disorder (BD). The etiology and clinical course of BD are considered to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, either aggravating or improving. Aim: This follow-up study of an adolescent aimed to clarify the co-morbidity between ADHD and BD. We also discuss the controversies surrounding the two diagnoses in younger populations and describe several aspects of concern regarding diagnosis, differential diagnosis, therapeutic planning/intervention, and prognosis. Methods: Reporting of a two-year follow-up study of a bipolar 15-year-old female patient with a previous diagnosis of ADHD during childhood. Results: Despite the occurrence of major risk factors, such as early onset and positive family history, the patient’s condition rapidly remitted with medication, without relapse and/or rehospitalization during the following two years, due to the stability of her cooperation, and support of a stable and caring familial environment. Early diagnosis of BD and differential diagnoses of ADHD are considered crucial protective factors leading to an appropriate planning of treatment. In addition, parental involvement and empathic attitude towards the patient supported the latter to cooperate and comply with the treatment, enhancing positive outcomes and stability. Conclusions: Research is required into the reliability and validity of diagnostic protocols and criteria for BD in children and adolescents, and also into the development of individualized therapeutic planning.

The development of a set of inventories for objectively assessing the adjustment and social behavior of pre-psychotic and ex-hospital patients in the community is described. The underlying rationale and the operational criteria for the scales are presented, along with the results of several studies having to do with their discriminative validity in a follow-up study, the development of the separate measures of adjustment and social behavior, the internal consistencies, and the stability of the measures across populations. The major characteristics of the scales are their reliance on both the patient and a relative in measuring social behavior, the use of a relative as a direct reporter, and the establishment of his reliability in describing patient behavior. The scales have been designed for application to the problems of describing and classifying patients in accordance with their behavior prior to entrance to the hospital and in the community follow-up evaluation and comparison of psychiatric treatments.
