“…If one judges from the prevalence curves for boys, the decrease in cruelty to animals, threats, and demands for attention is greatest between the ages 4-5 and 6-7, whereas the decrease for the remaining behaviors continues until about ages 8-11. Data collected in a large scale New York study supported Edelbrock's findings and showed that the prevalence of teasing and bullying steadily declines between age 6 and age 18 (Greene et al, 1973).…”

“…In this comparison, knowledge about normal development can pinpoint the nature of symptomatic development. Greene et al (1973) presented similar data to show that the overall prevalence of teasing and bullying decreased with age but the percentage of youngsters judged by psychiatrists as markedly to severely impaired increased with age.…”

Evidence for a diagnostic distinction of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) is reviewed, and alternative conceptualizations and definitions for the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders are considered. Studies suggest that CD and ODD are strongly and developmentally related but clearly different. Factor analyses indicate that distinct covarying groups of ODD and CD symptoms can be identified, but certain symptoms relate to both (particularly mild aggression and lying). Age of onset for ODD is earlier than for most CD symptoms. Nearly all youths with CD have a history of ODD, but not all ODD cases progress to CD. The disorders demonstrate the same forms of parental psychopathology and family adversity but to a greater degree for CD than for ODD. Alternative conceptualizations for the disorders are presented for further study before the introduction of the DSM-IV.

“…There are several other reasons that buttress a distinction between overt and covert problem behaviors, including a different developmental course during childhood and adolescence. All but the most serious forms of overt problems tend to decrease with age, but covert problems tend to increase with age (e.g., Greene et al, 1973;Loeber, 1985;Loeber, Lahey, & Thomas, 1991;Stanger et al, 1997). 2 Other differences between overt and covert problem behaviors concern their specificity in predicting later outcomes (Magnusson et al, 1983;Pulkkinen, 1983;Wadsworth, 1979) and their relative stability over time (e.g., Stanger et al, 1997).…”

This article addresses 5 misconceptions and controversies concerning the development of aggression and violence: (a) the misconception that high stability coefficients of aggression over time imply that discontinuity of aggression from childhood to early adulthood is negligible; (b) the misconception that all serious forms of violence have an origin in aggression during early childhood; (c) the controversy about whether a single pathway or multiple pathways best represent individuals' development of antisocial behavior, including violence; (d) the controversy about whether causes of violence are similar to the causes of property offending; and (e) the assumption that the development of violence in women is very similar to that in men. Each of the points is discussed against empirical findings. Theoretical, research, and applied implications of the 5 points are discussed.

“…In preparing our research we were interested in epidemiological surveys and studies in clinical settings of children who heard voices with the characteristics of auditory hallucination. The first epidemiological study on children hearing voices was conducted by Green (1973). He did not use a diagnostic instrument, but instead interviewed 1,000 mothers about a child in the family who was presenting a problem, such as bedwetting, aggression etc.…”

Determinants of outcome in the pathways through care for children hearing voices

et al. 2004

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Auditory hallucination, or hearing voices, is generally associated with psychopathology. In psychiatry it is inter‐preted as a symptom of an illness, with no connection to the individual's life history. Voice hallucinations in childhood occur in a variety of contexts and have variable long‐term outcomes. Little is known about the course of the experience. In this study, 80 children and youngsters hearing voices were interviewed on four occasions over a period of three years about the content of the voices and their overall experience of voices, focusing on the determinants for a promising outcome in the pathways through care. The results indicate that the need for care in the context of the experience of voices is associated not only with high levels of problem behaviour and associated negative symptoms of psychosis, but also, independently, with an appraisal of the voices in terms of anxiety, depression, dissociation and frequency of occurrence. In 60 per cent of the participants the voices disappeared during the three‐year research period. The relationship between the disappearance of voices and the course of mental health treatment is, however, ambiguous.
