According to the Medical Research Council ""psychological control can limit a child’s independence and leave them less able to regulate their own behaviour"". Helicopter parent A helicopter parent (also called a cosseting parent or simply a cosseter) is a parent who pays extremely close attention to a child's or children's experiences and problems, particularly at educational institutions. Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they ""hover overhead"", overseeing every aspect of their child's life constantly. The metaphor appeared as early"

Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder is in part characterized by a form of pedantry that is excessively concerned with the correct following of rules, procedures, and practices. Sometimes the rules that OCPD sufferers obsessively follow are of their own devising, or are corruptions or reinterpretations of the letter of actual rules. Pedantry can also be an indication of specific developmental disorders. In particular, people with Asperger syndrome often have behaviour characterized by"

Of his father Ginsberg said ""My father would go around the house either reciting Emily Dickinson and Longfellow under his breath or attacking T. S. Eliot for ruining poetry with his 'obscurantism.' I grew suspicious of both sides."" Naomi Ginsberg's mental illness often manifested as paranoid delusions. She would claim, for example, that the president had implanted listening devices in their home and that her mother-in-law was trying to kill her. Her suspicion of those around her caused Naomi to draw closer to young Allen, ""her"
"suffered from obsessive doubts; in his mind, his omitting the word ""enim"" (""for"") during the Eucharist was as horrible as laziness, divorce, or murdering one's parent. Although historical religious figures such as Loyola, Luther and John Bunyan are commonly cited as examples of scrupulosity in modern self-help books, some of these retrospective diagnoses may be deeply ahistorical: these figures' obsession with salvation may have been excessive by modern standards, but that does not mean that it was pathological. Scrupulosity's first known public description as a disorder was in 1691, by John Moore, who called it ""religious melancholy"" and said it"

French psychiatrists Jules Baillarger described ""folie à double forme"" and Jean-Pierre Falret described ""la folie circulaire""—alternating mania and depression. The concept of adolescent insanity or developmental insanity was advanced by Scottish Asylum Superintendent and Lecturer in Mental Diseases Thomas Clouston in 1873, describing a psychotic condition which generally afflicted those aged 18–24 years, particularly males, and in 30% of cases proceeded to ""a secondary dementia"". The concept of hysteria (wandering womb) had long been used, perhaps since ancient Egyptian times, and"

He did not discuss sexual fetishism in women. In 1951, Donald Winnicott presented his theory of ""transitional objects and phenomena"", according to which childish actions like thumb sucking and objects like cuddly toys are the source of manifold adult behavior, amongst many others fetishism. He speculated that the child's transitional object became sexualized. Human fetishism has been compared to Pavlovian conditioning of"

Another early conception of parent-child relationships was that love only existed as a biological drive for survival and comfort on the child’s part. In 1958, however, Harry Harlow’s landmark study comparing rhesus’ reactions to wire “mothers” and cloth “mothers” demonstrated the depth of emotion felt by infants. The study also laid the groundwork for Mary Ainsworth’s attachment theory, showing how the infants used their cloth “mothers” as a secure base from which to explore. Ainsworth defined three styles of parent-child relationships in a series of studies"

A 1913 paper by Karl Pönitz, ""Contribution to the Recognition of Early Catatonia"", recounts a case study of a boy who manifested ""typical catatonia"" from the age of twelve, characterizing him as showing a ""clear picture of schizophrenia."" Until the late nineteenth century, children were often diagnosed as suffering from psychosis like schizophrenia, but instead were said to suffer from ""pubescent"" or ""developmental"" insanity. Through the 1950s, childhood psychosis began to become more and more common, and psychiatrists began to take a deeper look into the issue. Before 1980 the literature on ""childhood"

Rates during a given year are about 1.2%, and it occurs worldwide. It is unusual for symptoms to begin after the age of 35, and half of people develop problems before 20. Males and females are affected about equally. In English, the phrase ""obsessive–compulsive"" is often used in an informal manner unrelated to OCD to describe someone who is excessively meticulous, perfectionistic, absorbed, or otherwise fixated. OCD can present with a wide"
"a confidant or mediator for (or between) parents or family members. Melitta Schmideberg noted in 1948 how emotional deprivation could lead parents to treat their children (unconsciously) as substitute parent figures. ""Spousification"" and ""parental child"" (Minuchin) offered alternative concepts exploring the same phenomenon; while the theme of intergenerational continuity in such violations of personal boundaries was further examined. Eric Berne touched on the dangers of parents and children having a symmetrical, rather than asymmetrical relationship, as when an absent spouse is replaced by the eldest child; and Virginia Satir wrote of ""the role-function discrepancy...where the son gets into a head-of-the-family"

In 1584, a woman from Kent, England named Mrs. Davie, described by a justice of the peace as ""a good wife"", was nearly burned at the stake after she confessed that she experienced constant, unwanted urges to murder her family. The English term obsessive-compulsive comes from the translated term used to describe the first conceptions of OCD by Carl Westphal, ""zwangsvorstellung"". Westphal's description went on to influence Pierre Janet who further documented features of OCD. In the early 1910s, Sigmund Freud attributed obsessive–compulsive behavior to unconscious conflicts that manifest as symptoms. Freud describes the clinical"

And she was, she was analysing everything she said and seeing how it would come across. And I just thought, well, someone who is psychotic can't be this self-aware. But the whole point is that psychosis makes you hyper-self-aware. The thing that really took me by surprise was how little I"

The word ""nymphet"" is used to identify a sexually precocious girl. The term was made famous in the novel ""Lolita"" by Vladimir Nabokov. The main character, Humbert Humbert, uses the term many times, usually in reference to the title character. As H.J.

Notable individuals with Tourette syndrome are found in all walks of life, including musicians, athletes, media figures, teachers, physicians, and authors. The best-known example of a person who may have used obsessive–compulsive traits to advantage is Samuel Johnson, the 18th-century English man of letters, who likely had Tourette syndrome as evidenced by the writings of James Boswell.

This stereotype enjoyed a mixed reception in the mid-20th century.

The author identified examples of adultism not only in parents but in teachers, psychotherapists, the clergy, police, judges, and juries. Adultism is defined as the ""behaviors and attitudes based on the assumptions that adults are better than young people, and entitled to act upon young people without agreement"". It is also seen as, ""an addiction to the attitudes, ideas, beliefs, and actions of adults."" Adultism is popularly used to describe any discrimination against young people and is distinguished from ageism, which is"

Psychologist John E. Mack sees a possible connection between T. E.'s masochism and the childhood beatings that he had received from his mother for routine misbehaviours.

"a fourth attachment style, disorganized, so called because the infants’ behavior appeared disorganized or disoriented. Secure attachments styles are linked to better social and academic outcomes, greater moral internalization, and less delinquency for children, and have been found to predict later relationship success. For most of the late nineteenth through the twentieth century, the perception of adolescent-parent relationships was that of a time of upheaval. Stanley Hall popularized the “Sturm und drang”, or storm and stress, model of adolescence. Psychological research, however, has painted a much tamer picture. Although adolescents are more risk-seeking, and emerging adults have higher suicide rates,"

Besides identifying this trait, Wilson and Barber reported a number of childhood antecedents that likely laid the foundation for fantasy proneness in later life, such as, ""a parent, grandparent, teacher, or friend who encouraged the reading of fairy tales, reinforced the child's ... fantasies, and treated the child's dolls and stuffed animals in ways that encouraged the child to believe that they were alive."" They suggested that this trait was almost synonymous with those who responded dramatically to hypnotic induction, that is, ""high hypnotizables.""

Because of some inconsistencies in definitions and differences in the physical development of children and adolescents, there is overlap between pedophilia, hebephilia and ephebophilia. The term ""hebephilia"" was first used in 1955, in forensic work by Hammer and Glueck. Anthropologist and ethno-psychiatrist Paul K. Benedict used the term to distinguish pedophiles from sex offenders whose victims were adolescents. Karen Franklin, a California forensic psychologist, interpreted ""hebephilia"" to be a variation of ""ephebophilia"", used by Magnus Hirschfeld in 1906 to describe homosexual attraction to"

Borgmann extends the concept of hyperactivity to society as a whole, and defines it as ""a state of mobilization where the richness and variety of social and cultural pursuits, and the natural pace of daily life, have been suspended to serve a higher, urgent cause"" (p. 14).

Concerns also exist for the significant increase in prescription of psychiatric drugs to children.

Little Albert did not fear the rat and white rabbit until he was conditioned to do so. From this experiment, Watson concluded that parents can shape a child’s behavior and development simply by a scheming control of all stimulus-response associations. Although he wrote extensively on child-rearing in many popular magazines and in a book, ""Psychological Care of Infant and Child"" (1928), Watson later regretted having written in the area, saying that ""he did not"

These included sleep disturbances, nail biting, speech problems, lying, stealing, selfishness, shyness, and many other potentially problematic behaviors. Honzik co-edited the book ""Present and past in middle life"", published in 1981. This volume reported longitudinal research findings from the Oakland Growth Study (ages 11 to 50), and the Berkeley Guidance Study (ages birth to age 42).

Drawing on Rajneesh's reminiscences of his childhood in his book ""Glimpses of a Golden Childhood"", he suggested that Rajneesh suffered from a fundamental lack of parental discipline, due to his growing up in the care of overindulgent grandparents.
