TL;DR
The failure to find any association between parental disorder and hyperactivity argues against the specificity of the relationships between hyperactivity in children and alcoholism, antisocial personality and hysteria in their relatives which were discovered in earlier family studies.
Abstract
SUMMARY Psychiatric diagnoses were made on parents of 126 boys attending a child psychiatric clink with information from structured interviews. Antisocial personality and alcoholism were commoner in natural fathers of aggressive, antisocial boys than in fathers of the remaining boys but the prevalence of these disorders did not distinguish fathers of hyperactive boys from fathers of those who were not hyperactive. The failure to find any association between parental disorder and hyperactivity argues against the specificity of the relationships between hyperactivity in children and alcoholism, antisocial personality and hysteria in their relatives which were discovered in earlier family studies.
