[The only child in pediatric neuropsychiatric patient material].
In the older literature, single children were usually considered as being subject to particularly pathogenetic situations. In the more recent literature, on the other hand, the emphasis has usually been on psychoreactive disorders of single children. The author and his associates have been able to show that in a comparison of single children and multiple children different socioeconomic conditions are of major importance and tend to play a decisive role in the complex pathogenetic structure of certain diseases. Therefore, it is necessary that, so fat as the prevention of diseases that we are concerned here with is concerned, far more attention be given to children in multiple-children families (inasmuch as three-children families are required for an adequate reproduction of our society, a fact which has been convincingly demonstrated by Mehlan in 1963).
