[Severe psychomotor instability in child psychiatry. Hyperkinetic states or psychomotor incontinence].
The pedopsychiatric problem of severe psycho-motoric instabilities of hyperkinetic states, that we prefer to designate as psychomotoric incontinence, is at the origin of great amount of publications of inequal value. After having delimitated the concept of severe psycho-motoric instability (hyperkinetic syndrome or motoric incontinence) and a critical historic review of the problem, the author relates the various clinical aspects with twenty personal cases as example. The clinical and therapeutic experience of the author, the etiology, pathologic antecedents, neuro-psychological and electro-encephalographic data concerning this clinical condition, show that only ameliorations (in 40% of the cases), and not recoveries, are to be expeected.
