Extract

Consideration of the aetiology of behaviour disorders in epileptic children has been something of a test case in psychiatry: it divides sharply the “organicists” from the “environmentalists”, while those absorbed in psychopathological theory are given free scope to describe the complexity of dynamic mechanisms without committing themselves as to the ultimate aetiological factors.
