Abstract
This ia a study of twelve cases of pre-school children who were referred
to the James J. Jackson Putnam Children's Center for help with
unmanageable behavior. By unmanageable behavior is meant actively or
passively non-conformist behavior such that the mother feels unable to
control her child, The purpose of the study is to indicate the general
nature of the problems which these children presented, and of the settillgs
in which the problems arose. To this end, the study seeks to answer
the following questions: In what ways were these children unmanageable?
What other problem behavior, if aey-, did they exhibit? Why did the behavior
so concern their mothers as to bring them to a child guidance
clinic? On the basis of follow-up interviews, what is the present status
of the unmanageable behavior?
