Thirty-nine children who had been abused an average of 5 1/2 years earlier and 14 children who had been admitted to the hospital with nonorganic failure to thrive (NOFTT) 13 years earlier were studied to look at similarities and differences in their development. Each group was studied in relation to a comparison group matched for age, sex, social class, and ethnic background. The abused children and those with NOFTT were similar in their language ability, and were significantly behind their comparison groups in language development, reading age, and verbal intelligence. The abused children, but not the group who had NOFTT, were significantly behind their comparison group in general intelligence, interpersonal relations, and self-concept, but in contrast to the children with NOFTT they were not delayed in social maturity. The long-term adverse sequelae of these two conditions emphasize the need for a long-term, child-centered approach.
对平均在5年半前遭受虐待的39名儿童和13年前因非器质性发育不良（NOFTT）入院的14名儿童进行了研究，以观察他们发育过程中的异同。每组都与在年龄、性别、社会阶层和种族背景方面相匹配的对照组进行对照研究。受虐待儿童和患有NOFTT的儿童在语言能力方面相似，且在语言发展、阅读年龄和语言智力方面明显落后于他们的对照组。受虐待儿童，而非患有NOFTT的儿童组，在一般智力、人际关系和自我概念方面明显落后于他们的对照组，但与患有NOFTT的儿童不同的是，他们在社会成熟度方面没有延迟。这两种情况的长期不良后果凸显了采取以儿童为中心的长期方法的必要性。
