Abstract:
65 mentally handicapped children and adolescents, examined at the Mental Deficiency Consultation of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service of the Lausanne University, are described, using the axis of organic factors, psychiatric factors and degree of intellectual retardation. The necessity of a multiaxial diagnosis classification is discussed and its usefulness for clinical work and international epidemiological researches is emphasised.
