Externalizing Conditions

  • Chapter
Handbook of Psychosocial Characteristics of Exceptional Children

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Human Exceptionality ((SSHE))

Abstract

Externalizing behavior problems are the most common reasons that children and adolescents are referred for mental health services (Lochman & Lenhart, 1995). Similarly, behavior problems are a common reason for referral to special education services, to school counselors, and to alternative education programs in school settings. Externalizing behavior problems include physical aggression (e.g., hitting, kicking, biting), verbal aggression (e.g., threatening others with use of force), other contranormative or oppositional behaviors (e.g., lying, truancy, running away, theft, fire setting), hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, and weak attentional regulations. In this chapter, we review the characteristics, assessment, and intervention for two subsets of externalizing behavior problems, namely aggressive and oppositional behaviors and attention deficit and hyperactive behaviors.
