Abstract
Children with learning disabilities and attention-deficit disorder are vulnerable to increased psychological difficulties in three areas: self-esteem, self-control, and frustration tolerance. Different family types influence differently the child's ability to manage the disorder and psychological reactions. Individual and family therapy must focus on both the child's developmental problems and the family's organization.Keywords
