Abstract

We have noted an unusual phenomenon in our association with an inpatient behavioral health facility located in the midwestern United States. Most consumers treated in this facility exhibit conduct disorders, oppositional defiant disorder or attention deficit disorders. The facility also treats individuals with various anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and autism. Within the facility, we collected data from a unit that monthly serves a population of 38 to 47 children ages 3 to 11 years old.
