Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.1974.131.4.459

This paper describes a comprehensive program for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperkinetic children. The program is an intensive but short-term undertaking and includes a complete evaluation of the child, pharmacotherapy, behavior modification, curriculum counseling, training for parents and teachers, parent-child interaction videotaping and feedback sessions, and a coordination of the treatment effort with the child, his family, and his school. The program allows for a progression at the child’s pace in order to ensure continuity of both care and development.
