Social Deficits of Children with Internalizing Disorders

  • Chapter
Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 11))

Abstract

Two broad dimensions of childhood psychopathology have been identified: internalizing and externalizing disorders (Achenbach, 1982; Quay, 1979). Internalizing problems include anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal, whereas externalizing difficulties include conduct problems and hyperactivity. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 3rd ed. rev. (DSM-III-R: American Psychiatric Association, 1987) presents several diagnostic categories corresponding to the internalizing dimension that can be applied to children. Primary among these are Separation Anxiety Disorder, Overanxious Disorder, Avoidant Disorder, Major Depression, and Dysthymic Disorder. Although a large body of research exists on externalizing disorders, children with internalizing disorders have been studied only recently.

Work reported in this chapter has been supported in part by Mental Health Clinical Research Center grant MH 30915.
