This is the sixth and final paper of a series studying various symptomatic, physical and social aspects of a sample of 47 cases of infantile psychosis (I.P.) and 33 cases of late onset psychosis (L.O.P.). They were seen at the Park Hospital for Children, Oxford, and the Newcastle Child Psychiatry Unit.

This paper analyses the clinical picture in 80 children referred to the Park Hospital, Oxford, or to the Newcastle department of child psychiatry, and admitted for intensive assessment of their psychosis. All were seen by two psychiatrists and nearly three quarters of them in Oxford. The diagnostic criteria, and the differentiation by age of onset into infantile psychosis (I.P.) and late onset psychosis (L.O.P.) were discussed in the previous paper (Kolvin, I).

The first paper of this sequence discussed the division of childhood psychoses into those with onset before the age of 3 (infantile psychoses, I.P.) and those with onset after the age of 5 (late onset psychoses, L.O.P.). The second paper described in detail the clinical phenomena in 80 psychotic children so classified at Oxford or Newcastle (see Table I), and showed that this division corresponded to clear-cut distinctions in the clinical pictures. The I.P. group showed gaze avoidance, abnormal pre-occupations, self-isolating patterns of behaviour, echolalia, overactivity. The L.O.P. group showed hallucinations and thought disorder. With these two groups clearly established we now look to see whether anything in their family and background also distinguishes them.

It is a common assumption in child psychiatry that the personality and attitudes of parents exert a fundamental influence on the developing child. This hypothesis merits careful examination. The authors were particularly interested in testing it in relation to aberrant personalities and undeniable psychiatric disorder in childhood. Theoretically there are two main methodological steps; (i)The proving of a correlation between parental and childhood variables. The present paper concentrates on this step.(ii)experimental or other studies to demon strate causal relationships between these variables.

The International Congress on Mental Health, which was held in London in August, included three important conferences in one. During the first week, the mornings were devoted to the International Conference on Child Psychiatry, the afternoons to the International Conference on Medical Psychotherapy, while the whole of the second week was given to sessions of the International Conference on Mental Hygiene. (The composite noun is presumably a Congress of Conferences!) Unlike many scientific meetings, the programme was planned to cover related subjects; and, instead of a series of unconnected papers, each day took a particular aspect for its theme. The themes of the three conferences led into one another, Child Psychiatry dealing especially with "Personality development in its individual and social aspects, with special reference to aggression," Psychotherapy with the theme of guilt, and Mental Hygiene with the more general implications of Mental Health and World Citizenship.
