What are the causes of maladjustment?

This is a really hard question to answer because "maladjustment" is such a huge category. The cause of a person's maladjustment is dependent on the person's age, circumstances, support systems and temperament. And of course, what is the situation to which the person is adjusting poorly? Often what gets labeled as a maladjustment is a person (usually a child) having a normal reaction to abnormal circumstances. Bottom line is, this question is unanswerable without the questioner giving more information about the situation. My professional opinion (as a person trained and licensed in a mental health field) is that there is no such thing as maladjustment. Human beings adjust in a variety of different ways to a variety of circumstances, and not all circumstances are good for all people. Maladjustment is a label - usually given by non-professionals in schools or institutional settings - to an individual whose manner of adjusting to a situation he or she has been placed in is inconvenient for that school or institution. If you want to learn about maladjustment, I suggest you look into learning about family systems, or systems theory, in psychology texts or online. Systems theory offers an understandable way to think about how individuals work together when they form a system, as in a family or larger institution.


Can a psychologist diagnose or differentiate between ADHD and social maladjustment disorder?

i would think with the proper amount of experience with both disorders and the proper testing and time put into making sure the diagnosis is correct, Yes. ==== Updated: The answer, generally speaking, is yes. Using a combination of fact-finding techniques such as developmental history, applied behavioral analysis, home and school observations, and assessments (such as the Differential Scales of Social Maladjustment and Emotional Disturbance, Five-Factor Personality Inventory - Children, Behavioral Assessment System for Children- Second Edition, and WISC-IV), a rather clear diagnostic picture can emerge to differentiate the two; although please keep in mind that co-morbidity of ADD and Social Maladjustment can occur.

Explain the circular nature of the relationship between personality maladjustment and reading failure.?

Personality maladjustment, such as low self-esteem or anxiety, can contribute to reading failure by affecting a child's motivation, attention, and overall emotional well-being, which can impact their ability to learn. Conversely, experiencing reading failure can also lead to feelings of frustration, embarrassment, and academic challenges, which in turn can contribute to the development of personality maladjustment issues. This circular relationship highlights the interconnectedness between academic struggles and emotional well-being in children.


What does the Differential Scales of Social Maladjustment and Emotional Disturbance measure?

Taken from the Differential Scales of Social Maladjustment and Emotional Disturbance (DSSMED) manual: The Differential Scales of Social Maladjustment and Emotional Disturbance (DSSMED), is a 46-item, norm-referenced rating scale that can be used to differentiate between students with social maladjustment and those with emotional disturbance. It is also effective in identifying cases of Co-Morbidity (i.e. students exhibiting characteristics of social maladjustment and emotional disturbance who might otherwise go unidentified and unserved through special education). The DSSMED is normed on a national sample of 1,337 students and has strong reliability and validity. Teachers, school psychologists, or other knowledgeable professionals rate the items on a 5-point Likert-like scale. Ideally, the examiner should be someone who has had regular, daily contact with the student for at least four weeks. Results of the DSSMED can be used as a pre-referral/referral tool to identify “at risk” students, as a subcomponent of a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation of social-emotional-behavioral functioning in children and adolescents, and as one of other sources of data to assist with educational programming decisions.
