The Children's Behavioral Classification Project: An interim report

The Children's Behavioral Classification Project: An interim report Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology Vol. 5, No. 3, 1977 The Children's Behavioral Classification Project: An Interim Report Ralph Mason Dreger Louisiana State University As part of a series of similar endeavors, the Children's Behavioral Classification Project (CBCP) aims to establish a behaviorally based nosology for children's and adolescents' emotional disorders which will be useful for treatment and prevention.

The CBCP is companion to the Preschool Behavioral Classification Project (PBCP) (Baker & Dreger, 1977- this issue) and the Adolescent Behavioral Classification Project (ABCP), which is in the formative stage at present.

Abstract

Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology Vol. 5, No. 3, 1977 The Children's Behavioral Classification Project: An Interim Report Ralph Mason Dreger Louisiana State University As part of a series of similar endeavors, the Children's Behavioral Classification Project (CBCP) aims to establish a behaviorally based nosology for children's and adolescents' emotional disorders which will be useful for treatment and prevention. To this end several comprehensive instruments have been devised, one of which, for the CBCP, is described here. The CBCP is companion to the Preschool Behavioral Classification Project (PBCP) (Baker & Dreger, 1977- this issue) and the Adolescent Behavioral Classification Project (ABCP), which is in the formative stage at present. Underlying the construction of the instru- ments in each case are two major assumptions: (a) Any nosology, no matter how refined or abstract it becomes eventually, must arise from observations of behavior; (b) parents or parent surrogates can report relevant behavior reliably if the stimuli presented to them for such reporting are sufficiently descriptive of actual behavior.
