title: Relationship of certain childhood 'traits' to adult psychiatric disorders.
abstract: An investigation of 174 adult psychiatric outpatients reporting on nine different difficulties they may have experienced as children suggests certain  links between childhood difficulties and lifelong personality traits, as well as adult psychiatric symptomatology. Findings suggest that the childhood traits related to schizophrenia might be manifestations of minimal organic brain dysfunctioning.
