title: [Neurosis-like and psychopath-like disorders in mild retardation in childhood and adolescence].
abstract: The time course of neuropsychic deviations in children of a special rehabilitation boarding school was studied. Over 50% of the children displayed some neurosis- and psychopathlike disturbances upon admission to school. Owing to the medical and pedagogical measures the number of the children with these deviations falls to 11% by the end of the second year of study. But in the pubertal age their number increases again reaching 45.9%. Decompensation of this kind occurs in both boys (50.5%) and, less frequently, girls (36%). At this age, boys exhibit changes mostly in the emotional and volitional spheres, while in girls, excessive sexuality and tendencies toward wandering are predominant. Most schoolchildren overcome the state of decompensation by the time of finishing school.
