title: [Clinical features of neuroses in left-handed children].
abstract: A study covering 100 sinistral and 100 dextral neurotic children revealed a higher percentage of persons with manifestations of motor disinhibition, phobias and anxiety among sinistral children. It was also in this group that a considerable number of children presented at the beginning of schooling such phenomena as "mirror" writing and attempts of reading and counting from right to left. Elements of "mirror" thinking seemed to explain difficulties in learning writing and reading observed in such children. The authors discuss the questions of prophylactic measures in sinistral children with neuroses.
