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:
“I am so far from thinking the maxims of Confucius and Jesus Christ to differ, that I think the plain and simple maxims of the former, will help to illustrate the more obscure ones of the latter, accommodated to the then way of speaking.”
—Matthew Tindal (1653–1733)
“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)
