The validity of mixed disorders of conduct and emotions in children and adolescents: a research note

Article Abstract:

Mixed disorders of conduct and emotion should be considered a subgroup of conduct disorders rather than a separate diagnostic category. Evidence suggests that the separate categorization of mixed disorders of conduct and emotions in the ICD-10 is incorrect as the patients in that category are similar to those with conduct disorders. Both groups have similar family background, age, sex ratio, premorbid behavioral abnormalities, abnormal psychosocial situations, and treatment. The study was conducted with child and adolescent psychiatric patients from 1988 to 1992.

Annotation: Do measures of of externalising behaviour in normal populations predict later outcome?: Implications for targeted interventions to prevent conduct disorder

Article Abstract:

Mental health professionals dealing with risk and predictive accuracy in children with externalizing behavior symptoms can utilize a number of ideas and methodologies to conclude predictive accuracy at the individual level. These concepts are designed to help mental health professionals better analyze externalizing symptoms used in categorizing children for intervention programs. Some of the study characteristics that influence predictive accuracy include the stability of behavior, gender and choice of informant.

The Teddy Bears' Picnic: four-year-old children's personal constructs in relation to behavioural problems and to teacher global concern

Article Abstract:

Children give relevant information about their self perception and emotional state through their pretend constructions. The Teddy Bears' Picnic test assesses the internal personal constructs of children with problems and distinguishes between four-year-olds who are above and below the cut-off on the Preschool Behavior Checklist. Both tests can discriminate levels of teacher global concern. The results validate the utility of teacher ratings of preschoolers. The two tests are more powerful when used together.
