Abstract

A study of 227 retarded children and their families revealed that emotional maladjustment more often than not accompanies retardation. The author points out, however, that disturbed behavior in the retarded is not due primarily to limited intellectual capacities but to delayed, disordered personality functions and disturbed interpersonal relationships with meaningful people in the environment.
