A consecutive unselected series of 200 children referred for psychiatric consultation to an Italian Child Guidance Center is included in this study. All diagnoses were made in accord with the third edition of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (DSM III). Functional enuresis was the most common psychiatric disturbance (15 percent), followed by developmental reading disorder (14.5 percent) and mild mental retardation (12.5 percent). There was no case of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (hyperkinetic syndrome). All depressions were consequences of another disorder and remitted when the child received attention and care. In 20.5 percent of cases no psychiatric diagnosis was made and the child apparently had been referred because of emotional problems in the parent.
本研究纳入了连续200名未经挑选、前往意大利儿童指导中心进行精神科咨询的儿童。所有诊断均依据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM III）做出。功能性遗尿是最常见的精神障碍（15%），其次是发育性阅读障碍（14.5%）和轻度智力障碍（12.5%）。没有注意缺陷多动障碍（多动综合征）的病例。所有抑郁症都是其他疾病的后果，当孩子得到关注和照料时会缓解。20.5%的病例未做出精神科诊断，孩子显然是因家长的情感问题而被转诊。
