[Acquired educational deficiency syndrome--AEDS]

In this description of AEDS I would like to present different explanations and diagnostical approaches, preventative measures and therapies for the majority of behavioral disturbances in children and adolescents. In essence, most of these behavioral disturbances in children such as learning disabilities, violence, adolescence problems, appearances of ticks, anorexia, drug abuse and drug addiction are mostly not due to organic reasons, but, in the majority of cases are due to psychological behavioral problems. The roots of these problems are the continuous failure of relationships between the child and the adult who is closest to him/her such as their parents and teachers. Failure stems from the incorrect educational conception of the adults role towards the child and the inability to carry out correct educational theories. Another problem is the inability of the adult to see the interaction between the child and himself through the eyes of the child, and therefore, the adult cannot know and understand what is accepted and processed in the mind of the child. Most adults cannot prevent a natural ingrained reflex to continue supervising over the child even through there is no reasons to do so. Another point to be considered is that over the last few decades children spend more years in their parents home as adults which bring about acute conflicts, creating situations in which one adult is dependent on the other, and has to accept and give in to his ways. Behavioral disturbances do not necessarily come about from extreme oppression such as abuse etc., but from what we call "normal discipline". Oppression may appear on different levels, the extreme being "erasure of ones personality", and of course behavioral disturbances will evolve. Therefore, taking into account the above, it is worthwhile to consider new thoughts and approaches regarding interactions within child-adult relationships.
