Source text - English Case 1
A girl 12 years of age (Fig. 1 A) did not want to go to school because she could not
cope with a classroom situation. She had difficulty in spelling and comprehension.
In mathematics she was at third grade level. Reading was difficult and recall poor. She had been frightened by her kindergarten teacher. In first grade she was ignored, and the second grade had to be repeated. By the time she reached sixth grade
she was almost a drop-out.
She was the first and only child of a highly nervous, neurotic 35-year-old mother.
A "miserable" pregnancy for 911z months, five nights of false labor, and 15 hours of
hard, unproductive labor were followed by cesarean section.
The infant's head was severely compressed. Respiration was delayed. She experienced much vomiting in the neonatal period and through the first year. At 18 months she began having severe episodes of abdominal pain. Appendectomy
was performed in her sixth year, but she stilI had frequent bouts of abdominal pain.
| Translation - Spanish Caso 1.
Niña de 12 años (figura 1A) que no quería ir a la escuela porque no podía
adaptarse a la vida escolar. Tenía dificultades para deletrear y para comprender. En
matemáticas, tenía el nivel de un alumno de tercer grado. También tenía dificultades para leer y
para recordar.
En el jardín de infantes, le tenía miedo a su maestra. En primer grado la dejaron de
lado y tuvo que repetir segundo grado. Cuando llegó a sexto, estaba a punto de abandonar la
escuela.
Era la primera y única hija de una madre neurótica y muy nerviosa de 35 años. Su
madre «sufrió» un embarazo de 9 meses y medio; 5 noches de trabajo de parto falso y 15
horas de trabajo de parto difícil e improductivo dieron lugar a una cesárea.
La cabeza del feto sufrió una compresión grave. Demoró más de lo normal en
comenzar a respirar. Durante el período neonatal y a lo largo de su primer año presentó
vómitos recurrentes y a los 18 meses comenzó a tener episodios graves de dolor abdominal. A
los 6 años le hicieron una apendicectomía, pero, de todas formas, seguía teniendo episodios
recurrentes de dolor abdominal. |
