Abstract
H was a handsome 4-year-old boy who was referred for Paraverbal assessment and treatment. On interviewing the parents, both professional people, they described him as an insufferable disruptive, hyperactive child. They said the only solution to obtain the peace at home that they required at the end of an exacting working day was to do one of two things: If he annoyed them at the table, to tie him to his chair and “paddywhack” him, or, if they were in the living room having drinks and he annoyed them, to “paddywhack” him and then lock him in the closet.
