[Methodology in studying laterality in developmental neuropsychiatry].
The extent of literature and research dedicated to the laterality of cerebral functions and it's relation towards peripheral laterality gives the impression that this problem is precisely determined to a greater extent. The fact that can be accepted by the examination of literature is that the relation behavior (in the sense of acting)--brain (in the sense of a material determination of behavior itself) cannot be accepted as precisely determined or according to definition, not by nature nor by the mechanism of establishing this relation. From the perspective of the clinical viewpoint of the meaning of left-handedness the most acceptable is the theory of Satz Orsini and Sopper from 1986 in which they consider that non-righthanded people present a heterogenous group with a few individual sub-types: pathological lefthanded persons; ambivalent persons, in other words, ambidexters and the group of lefthanded persons by nature. On the basis of present neuropsychological research and in accordance with the psycho-neuro-vegetative approach to the semiotics of the developmental age of Popov et al., a complete battery is given which enables the neuropsychological analysis according to Orzbut's principals.
