title: Character disorders in traumatized and handicapped children.
abstract: Character disorders in children may arise from abuse or neglect by the family or from stresses of the broader social environment. Physically handicapped and mentally retarded children have innate disabilities that predispose them to problematic interaction with their surroundings. Early professional multidisciplinary intervention can often avert future psychopathy.
