Abstract
Childhood schizophrenia is seen as an early manifestation of schizophrenia as it is recognized in adults. It is an endogenous disorder of the integration of the total organism, inherited as a predisposition which may remain latent or develop into a clincial illness by decompensation. When this occurs in childhood, it is the result of a combination of inherited tendencies and noxious or traumatic events, intrauterine or paranatal, resulting in a global disorganization in the patterning of all functions, which are seen as embryonic immaturities or maturational lags (Bender 1967).
