RESEARCH RELATING TO EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED CHILDREN U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH,EDUCATION, AND WELFARE SOCIAL and REHABILITATION SERVICE Children's Bureau 1968 Research Relating to Emotionally Disturbed Childreh This publication represents a listing of all research projects onemotional disturbance which have been reported to the Children's BureauClearinghouse for Research in Child Life gnce 1956 and which haveappeared in Bulletins 3-21 of the Clearinghouse publication Research Relating toChildren, an inventory of ongoing research in abstract format. No zfforthas been made to cover projects not reported to the Clearinghouse. Therefore, this listing cannot be regarded ascovering all research in the field of emotional disturbance since 1956.However, it is assumed that major trends are represented. The projects have been classified according to the majorfocus of the study, with two exceptions. Because of the widespreadinte-est in schizo- phrenic children, all studies involving this particular form L.,,sychosis have been grouped together, regardless of the main focus ofthe study. Studies which represent ongoing research and were reported in1966-1967 also appear in a separate sectiwi. At the end of severalclassifications we have listed related studies reported to the Clearinghouse. These includeemotionally disturbed children within the population studied, but do notfocus specifically upon emotional disturbance. In addition, all longitudinal and follow-up studies appearingunder various categories in this publication are brought together and arelisted by number of study on page 168. An effort has been made to obtain bibliographicreferences to the studies by writing directly to the investigators and by checkingvarious indexes. However, there are still several on which we have been unable toobtain any information. In some cases, we were notified that the projects werediscontinued or that no publications resulted. These projects have been retainedin the listing in the belief that such negative information canoften be helpful to other investigators. Where thereis no publication reference or evidenceof discontinuance, it will be necessary to search the pertinent literature orwrite directly to the principal investigator for further details. TheClearinghouse has only the abstracts of tho studiesas they appear in the various issues of Research Relating to Children. The information for each study includes(1) the title; (2) the duration dates as foreseen by the investigatorsat the time of reporting, or theyear during which the projectwas reported to the Clearinghouse if no duration dates were provided; (3) the issue ofResearch Relating to Children in which the project was listed, and the numberof the abstract as it appeared in that issue (beginning with Bulletin 4, the first digitrepresents the issue in which the abstract may be found); (4) the principalinvestigators and addresses; and (f publication references wherever possible. Many investigatc.s providedus with current affiliations arid addresses and many others were obtained from the latest directories ofthe American Medical Association, American PsychologicalAssociation, American Psychi- atric Associatien, American Sociological Association,National Associathi of Social Workers, and American EducationalResearch Association. We hope thisli Aing will prove useful to researchinvestigators and practiVoners concerned with emotionallydisturbed children. We hope also that it may stimulate additional andmore complete reporting of current studies to the Clearinghouseso that Research Relating to Chiklrenmay provide a more comprehensive picture ofthis area of research effort.
