The relationship between anxiety and depression in children: rating scales and clinical variables.

The present study examined the relationship between anxiety and depression in children in the context of proposed adult models. The results support the qualitative distinction between anxious and depressed patient groups on subsets of rating scale measures and clinical variables. In contrast to anxious children who were younger, (day patients) had been ill for longer than one year, presented with behavioral problems, and were low on observer ratings of depressive symptoms; depressed children were older, (inpatients) had been ill for less than one year, presented with emotional problems and were high on observer ratings of both anxious and depressive symptoms.

The culturally deprived child. Social and educational needs.

The authors look at the culturally deprived child in terms of his educational and social needs. They emphasize the important role that the school must play. School administrators and teachers must become more sensitive to the role that school plays in a child becoming "turned off" to school.
