Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University / The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the learning difficulties of the child with normal or superior
intellectual capacity are related to the mother's emotional
problems; further, whether the problems of the mothers studied
have a common element; and, finally, whether any general conelusions
can be drawn for treatment of mothers whose children
have school learning problems . In this study school learning
problems are cases where either the child is repeating a grade
or is having a difficult time keeping up with his class . The
study is based upon an examination of closed cases at the
Douglas A. Thom Clinic for Children, Inc., Boston, Massachusetts
where the referral problem of the child was that of a learning dirficulty. An examination of the mother- child relationship in
these cases may be meaningful in deriving a hypothesis around
this problem. Such an examination may be further useful in
planning the casework technique or treatment with mothers whose
children have such learning problems.
