[The diagnosis of mental retardation in children in the tension field of medicine, psychology and pedagogy].
The statement of mental retardation in a child often has considerable consequences for him and for his parents. Yet the characteristics used for that diagnosis are as different as the conclusions drawn from it for treatment or education. This argument holds for the comparison of the pedagogical with the medical or clinical-psychological proceeding and for the comparison of various points of view within these sciences, as well. Instead of speculating about possible brain damage, classification in vaguely defined syndromes, etc., a careful analysis of the specific deficits seems to be more efficient by permitting an adequate treatment without labeling the patient simultaneously.
