Scope and Contents
"Developmentally he shows gross retardation. At present his spontaneous play, movement, speech and social adaptation would fix his developmental age at under 18 months. I can find no organic cause to account for his speech defect and as it is not an isolated symptom I am afraid the child will have to trearded as a congenital mental defective - probably an imbecile".
