Attitudes to the treatment of the pre-school child today stem very largely from the mainstream traditions in classical child psychiatry, the most powerful of which is still probably psychoanalysis. Recent articles (e.g. Freud, 1966; Frommer, 1967; Bentovim and Boston, 1973) describing treatment units for very young children exemplify very clearly the influence of these traditions and illustrate the difficulty of breaking new ground in conceptualizing treatment procedures. It will be the purpose of this paper to take issue with such traditions, and to argue that it is time for a new look at pre-school child psychiatry.

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.
