abstract="A psychoanalytical approach to the causation and treatment of the hyperactive child is given. It is hypothesized that hyperactivity in children is the overt manifestation of a distortion in the mother-child relationship which is latent. Clinical material and theory are presented from the psychoanalytical treatment of a child and an adult. This is then extrapolated to show that using these theories of brief intervention can change this overt symptom of hyperactivity and reveal the latent meaning - that it is, in Fact, a disturbance in the mother herself, so enabling the mother to have the treatment she needs.<p />",
