Extract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the results obtained when the Bene-Anthony Family Relations Test was administered to 69 children in 28 families and to relate these results to the health and social characteristics of this group. These children, 17 American Negroes, 46 Puerto Ricans and 6 Americans of European descent receive out-patient paediatric care from two paediatricians and a public health nurse, in a small family neighbourhood clinic located in a Manhattan slum area. The parents of these children also receive out-patient treatment from the two internists associated with this clinic.
