Abstract
It is a heartfelt honor to have been asked to contribute to this volume honoring Herbert C. Quay for his contributions to the field of developmental psychopathology. We have long benefitted personally in our teaching and research from his voluminous and seminal work and have valued his friendship and mentoring immensely over the years. In choosing a topic for this chapter, we selected one that we have discussed many times with Herb, a model of the development of serious conduct problems. We chose this topic because it reflects, and indeed incorporates, many of Herb’s contributions to the classification and development of conduct problems. Because the scope of Herb’s work and impact is broad, however, we could just as easily have chosen to write on our views on the environmental and biological correlates of conduct disorder, as his work has stimulated our interest in that field as well.
