Ruedrich, Stephen L.; And Others
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v95 n1 p110-19 Jul 1990
Literature is reviewed and a case report is presented concerning blockers of the beta-adrenergic function of the sympathetic nervous system, postulated to have efficacy in treatment of aggressive or self-injurious syndromes in persons with mental retardation. Concerns are raised regarding endorsement of beta-blocking medications before they have been adequately studied. (Author/JDD)
