Abstract:
Thirty neurotic children and their parents seen consecutively at the C.G.C., Institute of Medical Sciences, Varanasi, were studied with the help of a structured interview schedule and were subjected to detailed psychiatric assessment. The results were compared with that of thirty normal children and their parents who were studied in a like manner. Hysteria was found to be the commonest type of neurosis seen in C.G.C. population, followed by anxiety neurosis. In a number of cases there was a close similarity between symptoms presented by the children and the symptoms of parents who were suffering from neurotic or physical illness at the same time. The relevance of these findings are discussed.
