Five Maxims
In many ways, pediatric and adult neuropsychiatric practice are the same, but there are important differences. Some of these differences can be seen as maxims of neuropsychiatric practice:
- Maturation is a paramount force in pediatric neuropsychology
- Adult brain-behavior relationship rules do not invariably apply to children
- A model of normal development provides clinical critical context.
- Pediatric neuropsychological methods are distinctive
- Genetic, socio-environmental and family factors have primacy for evaluation

Famous quotes containing the word maxims:
“upon these maxims meditate:
All women dote upon an idle man
Although their children need a rich estate;
No man has ever lived that had enough
Of children’s gratitude or woman’s love.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Then did they strive with emulation who should repeat most wise maxims importing the necessity of suspicion in the choice of our friends—such as “mistrust is the mother of security,” with many more to the same effect.... But notwithstanding the esteem which they professed for suspicion, yet did they think proper to veil it under the name of caution.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
