    Area of Science:

    • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Medical Sociology

    Context:

    • Psychiatric practice often uses language that inadvertently labels children and adolescents with behavioral issues.
    • The study examines everyday communication patterns within psychiatric teams.
    • Three patient case examples illustrate the described phenomena.

    Purpose:

    • To critically analyze the language used in describing deviating behavior in young patients.
    • To uncover how specific speech patterns contribute to the labeling process.
    • To identify the phenomenon of a 'rating syndrome' where teams become fixated on stigmatizing judgments.

    Summary:

    • Analysis of psychiatric discourse reveals that common speech patterns can initiate and reinforce the labeling of children and adolescents with behavioral problems.
