      ab: The article presents the findings of a study on the learning problems of children and its implications for social casework. A learning disability can have a profound and damaging effect on a child, particularly in a culture in which education is highly valued. It is an accepted generalization that a person's childhood experiences affect his pattern of perception and influence the kind of adaptations he will use in his adult life. These perceptions and adaptations may be logical within the framework of his own life experiences, but they may be quite inappropriate when applied to his child, and may have a crippling effect on the child. If a patient fears the expression of feelings, views knowledge and communication as dangerous, confuses self-assertion with hostility and uses denial as a major defense against these fears and confusions, he is caught in a deadlock. The child guidance approach, which encourages gradualness in resolving this dilemma, is not likely to change the situation for quite a period of time.
