THE RELATIONSHIP OF NEUROTIC TRAITS TO THE ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM IN CHILDREN WITH BEHAVIOR DISORDERS
Abstract
1. In 122 children with behavior disorders, enuresis was reported more frequently (38 or 31.2 percent) than any other neurotic trait.
2. Male children and those in the age group of 13 to 18 years had abnormal EEGs more commonly than females or children in a younger age group, suggesting that age and sex are important variables that must be controlled in a study of this kind.
3. A history of enuresis in children with behavior disorders was associated in a positive manner with electroencephalographic abnormality, whereas behavior disorders without enuresis were not positively associated with electroencephalographic abnormality.
4. The EEG does not correlate with the vague and complex syndrome of behavior disorder but with certain specific aspects of this syndrome.
