Abstract

Although it is obvious to any student of child development that behavior, whether “normal” or “abnormal,” must be examined within a developmental context, it is only in the last decade that child psychiatry and clinical child psychology have begun to incorporate a developmental perspective. Both theory and nomenclature were originally adapted from work with adults, and the important changes in behavior and cognitive capacity that occur as a function of physical maturation and psychological development were largely overlooked. Instead, attempts were made to extend adult models downward, and theories of adult psychopathology were unsuccessfully adapted to childhood problems.
