Document Summary
Big ideas: important distinctions between child/adolescent disorders and adult disorders: important theoretical paradigms: these mental health problems in childhood/adolescence are highly predictive of adult disorders impairment, more resilient in households with male role models. Why are some children"s abnormal behavior patterns relatively continuous while others" are more variable? to avoid stigma, do not identify the person with the disorder (i. e. "child with autism" not "autistic child") John locke (1600s) introduced idea that children should be cared for rather than raised with indifference/harshness, Jean marc itard (1800s) first documented work with a child with special needs (victor of aveyron) Leta hollingworth (1900s) argued mentally defective children were suffering from emotional/behavioral problems. People: saw children as emotionally sensitive and thought they should be given educational opportunities of the disorders in patients of any age people with mental illness (may cause individuals to avoid seeking treatment)
