Zusammenfassung: | Peer relationships, social skills, self-esteem, parental
psychopathology, and family functioning of children with Tourette's
disorder
and a chronic disease control group of children
with diabetes mellitus were compared. Children with Tourette's disorder
had poorer peer
relationships than their classmates and were more likely to have extreme
scores reflecting
increased risk for peer relationship problems than children
with diabetes mellitus, but did not
report self-esteem problems or social skills deficits. Measures of peer
relationships were not
related to severity or duration of tics. Children with Tourette's
disorder and Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder were at increased risk for poor peer relationships.
The
psychosocial problems of children with Tourette's disorder do not
appear to be the generic
result of having a chronic disease. |
