Parental Management, Self-Concept, and Drug Response in Minimal Brain Dysfunction

Hunter H. Comly, M.D.

Betty Simon, M.S.

Boys with minimal brain dysfunction (MBD) were divided into two groups based on quality of parental management and compared with a group of age-matched normoactive elementary school boys. Self-esteem and impulse control were inferred from a projective car-drawing test. It was concluded that parental management can make a difference in MBD children's self-esteem, but that even the well-managed MBD boy may suffer some decrement in his feelings of self-worth. While MBD boys differed from normals in some impulse control comparisons, parental management does not appear to be a factor. Significantly more well-managed MBD children responded positively to medication than did poorly-managed children.
