Right-hemisphere deficit syndrome in children
KK Voeller
The author describes 15 children with behavioral disturbances, a
characteristic neuropsychological profile, and neurological findings
consistent with right-hemisphere damage or dysfunction. Almost all of the
children had attention deficit disorder. Some were obtuse or unable to
interpret social cues, others could not express their feelings but appeared
to be sensitive and aware of the emotions of others. The older children
were generally in psychotherapy or counseling but responded poorly,
suggesting that a different approach to treatment may be indicated.
