Behavior Disorders of Children

Abstract

Behavior disorders can occur at any age, in adults and children alike. Although there are no age boundaries, behavior disorders are slightly less common in childhood. There are at least two important reasons to study behavior disorders of children and adolescents separately from those of adults. First, although there are several commonalities, childhood disorders are less stable and less well differentiated than adult disorders. Thus it is useful to acquire a specialized knowledge of the behavior problems of children in order to treat them effectively. Also, to achieve a second goal—the prevention of adulthood disorders—it is essential that we gain an understanding of the conditions in childhood that presage or predispose an individual to future difficulties. The complex relationships between child and adult behavior disorders are too seldom investigated and thus are too seldom understood.
