Differentiating minimal brain dysfunction and temperament / William B. CAREY in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 21-6 (December 1979)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 21-6 (December 1979) . - p.765-772 Titre : Differentiating minimal brain dysfunction and temperament Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : William B. CAREY, Auteur ; Sean C. MCDEVITT, Auteur ; David H. BARKER, Auteur Année de publication : 1979 Article en page(s) : p.765-772 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : After referral to a pediatric neurologist for problems in behavior and learning, 61 children aged from three to seven years were assigned to one of four diagnostic groups: (1) minimal brain dysfunction (MBD); (2) hyperactivity; (3) learning disability; and (4) other criteria. Their temperament profiles were determined by the Behavioral Style Questionnaire. The disproportionately large number of children with more difficult temperament diagnoses in the referred population indicates that teachers and physicians may have mininterpreted a less adaptive behavioral style as evidence of neurological dysfunction. Those diagnosed clinically as having MBD were less adaptable, less persistent, more active and more negative than the control population. This suggests that MBD overlaps with difficult temperament. Children in the other three groups were temperamentally similar to the MBD group, which raises doubt about the advisability of diagnosing MBD on the basis of behavior alone. A comprehensive neurobehavioral profile is necessary to separate clearly the various factors contributing to problems in school performance.

Editorial Perspective: Whatever happened to temperament? / William B. CAREY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-12 (December 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-12 (December 2017) . - p.1381-1382 Titre : Editorial Perspective: Whatever happened to temperament? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : William B. CAREY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1381-1382 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A recent editorial in this journal supported our need to be ‘mindful of the field's strict adherence to the disease model of psychopathology, and wondered (not for the first time) whether our total allegiance to this model has obscured important information.’ Dr. Burt pointed to studies in which normal behavioral style traits such as activity and resilience may have been significant factors in the outcome. These traits bear a close relationship to two of the nine normal temperament traits described by Chess and Thomas in their New York Longitudinal Study starting in 1956. Despite past acceptance, their important contribution to outcomes has been largely ignored for some time. However, lately there has been an unexpected revival of them. All nine of the NYLS traits have individually been shown to matter sometimes in mental health outcomes. It is not just activity and resilience or adaptability but all the rest: irregularity, inhibition, intensity, irritability, persistence, distractibility, and sensitivity. Should we not consider all normal temperamental predispositions as possible risk or protective factors in appraisals of behavioral outcomes and not just pathological nature and/or nurture contributions?
