Translator disclaimer

Observations and tentative hypotheses regarding recognition, treatment, and management of the symptoms of dyslexia are discussed from within a model of dyslexia as a neurological dysfunction of genetic or constitutional etiology. In addition, a relationship is hypothesized between dyslexia and thinking disorders, as described by members of the Cathexis School of transactional analysis, as a stimulus for the observations and hypotheses of other practitioners in these fields. Finally, seven dimensions of the remedial process are described.
