title: [The role of schooling in the child neuropsychiatric clinic].
abstract: The authors report the inclusion of schooling in the therapeutic regime used by a pedopsychiatric department. Comparative psychological examinations of children, which were made on admission to and discharge from the clinic, showed a positive effect upon the course of disease, with different degrees of improvement being observed. A questioning of thirty children regarding the influence of schooling showed that their motivations lay in the affective rather than executive sphere. However, a child's striving for a favorable position within the group also proved an important prerequisite of successful therapy.
