Abstract
The hyperkinetic child requires treatment; if he is simply left “to grow out of it,” the school failure secondary to hyperactivity usually produces profound personal and social dysfunction in later life. A treatment program requires careful diagnosis, parent counseling, school assistance, and prescription in appropriate cases of stimulant drugs. The principles governing the use of these drugs are detailed.Keywords
