Electroencephalograms and psychological test findings in one hundred ninety-five emotionally disturbed children were compared with those of a group of comparable children without significant psychological defects. Of the disturbed children, 81.6 percent had abnormal electroencephalograms, about three times as many as in the control group. In the psychological tests the disturbed children showed marked distortions in visual-motor functions, body image, and perceptual functions. These findings support Schilder's thesis that organic damage to the brain leads to a confused body image which in turn plays a significant role in the behavior of such children.
