Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
People with a mental handicap may have a variety of behavioural symptoms, and according to DSM-III-R those commonly seen include passivity, low self-esteem, low frustration tolerance, aggressiveness, poor impulse control, and stereotyped self-stimulating and self-injurious behaviour. There is, however, no diagnostic subclassification of these in DSM-III-R.
