“…Both paediatrics, with its increasing diagnostic facilities, and special education, with its increasing responsibilities in the area of training and supervision largely contributed to this trend, which became apparent not only in Switzerland but also in other developed countries. This trend is also quite obvious in the research literature in which child psychiatry, in contrast to the basic biological sciences and psychology, has contributed little in the recent past (5,6,8).…”

The entire sample of N=45554 patients attending the child and adolescent psychiatric service of the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland between 1921 and 1990 was analyzed with regard to age, sex, and diagnoses. Data were based on annual reports of the institution for the period between 1921 and 1978. From 1979 onwards, electronically stored data on each patient were available. ICD-9 diagnoses were applied between 1979 and 1987. The ICD-10 system was introduced in 1988. The total administrative prevalence rate varied between 0.15 and 0.40 percent with an increasing trend over time. On the average, boys outnumbered girls by a sex ratio of 2:1. The age distribution showed peaks at 8 to 9 years and during adolescence. The distributions of the most common diagnoses showed remarkable differences over time. It is assumed that changes in diagnostic categories rather than changes in true prevalence rates play a major role in the latter trend.

“…Sobre este tema, nota-se um número crescente de artigos publicados a partir de 1992, o que parece demonstrar maior envolvimento dos profissionais com a questão familiar, especialmente com relação aos pais das crianças autistas. Quanto a revisões críticas de literatura, foram escassos os artigos cujo enfoque perpassa essa questão do autismo infantil e do estresse da família (Fraser & Murti Rao, 1991;Tunali & Power, 1993;Estrada & Pinsof, 1995;Travis & Sigman, 1998;Dawson, Ashman & Carver, 2000;Peterson & Siegal, 2000;Kaiser, Hester e McDuffie, 2001).…”

“… Problem behaviour is dependent to a powerful extent upon the individual's overall severity of learning disability . Most reviewers in the area (for example, Dosseter & Nicol 1991; Fraser & Rao 1991) concur that the general trend is towards greater prevalence of psychiatric disorder with increasing severity of learning disability. However, at the extreme end of the spectrum are found profoundly disabled individuals (IQ < 20), many of whom are multiply disabled.…”
