Abstract
We are increasingly aware of the harm, both actual and potential, done to patient and parents from the designation of children with delayed and irregular maturation as "brain-damaged" or "suffering from brain dysfunction." The terror and anxiety wrought by such diagnoses, despite the fact that they are based on no current evidence of actual brain disease, is the topic of this paper.Keywords
