    Abstract:
    The behavior problems of 144 behaviorally disturbed children are described who were treated as inpatients between 1966 and 1973. The problems were classified with the multiaxial classification system for psychiatric disorders in childhood. In addition, they were evaluated with a psychopathology assessment inventory developed by the authors. Data on somatic and psychosocial factors were also recorded. Specific behavior disorders were associated with specific somatic and psychosocial factors. The extent to which behavior could be modified during in patient treatment depended on the kind and severity of the behavior problems bu only to a small extent on somatic and psychosocial factors. On the other hand, parenteral cooperativeness had a significant influence on therapeutic outcome. The multiaxial classification system was validated by the ratings on the psychopathology assessment inventory. The reasons for certain difficulties in classifying behavior problems in children are discussed.
