“…In addition, some children with emotional and psycho-physical problems had attended the paediatric department. The noted rates were, however, very similar to those reported by von Knorring (1987) regarding psychiatric in-patients and out-patients in Sweden. She found that from birth to the age of 19 years 8.2% of the boys and 9.5% of the girls had attended a child-psychiatric clinic, with a pronounced increase in late adolescence in the girls.…”

A cohort of ordinary Swedish children were followed up from school entry through childhood and adolescence and checked retrospectively from birth to the age of 6 years regarding psychiatric and physical health and contact with the social welfare authorities. The children were allocated to different risk groups at age 7 on the basis of their psycho-physical development expressed as complex reaction time (CRT). It was previously shown that many of the slow CRT children have problems in psychomotor and language development at school, and that many leave compulsory school with poor achievements in Swedish and gymnastics as continuing signs of their developmental delay. This study shows that slow CRT children have an increased prevalence of child psychiatric problems. At an early age there were symptoms of aggression, hyperactivity and withdrawal in conjunction with developmental delay. During adolescence, depression, maladjustment and psycho-somatic disorders were prominent features, often in association with developmental delay, dyslexia and poor motoric skill. These children could have a disadvantage at school and in society and they felt themselves "handicapped" and were stressed by feelings of limited future possibilities. In adolescence, many of them were in need of help, especially financial aid from the social welfare services. The findings stress that a slow cognitive processing ability seen as a slow CRT must be considered a handicap of importance and a risk-factor in the society of today, with primary or secondary psychic and social manifestations often in a multifactorial setting of biological co-morbidity and family problems. In contrast, an advanced CNS development with a fast CRT may be seen as a protective factor.

“…25% of the children were classified at level 4, defined as an inability to adapt due to the seriousness of existing problems. This prevalence is comparable with the results of large scale epidemiological studies (von Knorring et al 1987). The authors observed a highly significant difference in mental health in favour of children from high social status families compared to those from low social status families, a group which included immigrant families.…”

“…These psychological perturbations find a resolution during adolescence and do not continue in the adult age". von Knorring (1987), in a study of 1386 subjects followed from birth to 24 years, notes also that only 11% of children with psychological disturbances before the age of 10 "remained in psychiatric care as young adults".…”

Three hundred children chosen at random from the general population were examined at 9 years of age and seen again at 20. The results of the study emphasize the discontinuity of psychological problems between childhood and adulthood: serious difficulties in psychological functioning at age 9 do not predict disturbances at 20, but psychological disturbances at 20 may originate in adolescence. The overrepresentation, at age 9, of boys at risk disappears at 20, at which point there is a slightly higher proportion of women amongst the "cases". The factors which influence the mental health of girls and boys are analysed and discussed.

“…Thirteen cases were analyzed, of which three were from an emergency unit, and ten were from an out-patient unit. Compared to an earlier study of CAP in Sweden, the cases match the distribution of sex, age, and contact reason as described by von Knorring et al (1987). Only about 2% of the families who visited the unit for the first time were interviewed.…”

Parents who came with their child to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) for the first time were interviewed 1-2 weeks afterwards in the presence of the child and the therapists. In a grounded theory analysis they revealed uncertainty about their role in the first meeting as well as of future planning. What had been important to them were aspects like communication, sharing perspectives, and the reformulation of problems.
