Abstract
Each child received a thorough clinical study, including the taking of a social history and medical, psychological, and psychiatric examinations. The purpose of the social history is to give information concerning heredity, developmental history, health and school history, home conditions, both as to economic situation and relationships between different members of the family, methods of training and discipline used by the parents, observations as to the child's personality and conduct, an account of his interests, and a description of his play life and companions. These topics are covered by the social history in detail, with a view to showing how various situations that have arisen in the child's life may have contributed to the development of the habits, conditioned responses, emotional disturbances, and behavior patterns which characterize him at the time of the clinical study.
