Behavioral abnormalities commonly seen in infancy.
Most behavioral abnormalities in infants up to 36 months reflect a disturbance in the relationship between the caretaking environment and the infant. This does not allow their inclusion in present-day classification manuals. The present paper gives a brief description of twelve behavioral conditions frequently seen by the practicing infant psychiatrist. The epidemiology, clinical course, symptomatology and outcome of each condition is described and suggestions for treatment are made.
