ABSTRACT
The domain of externalizing problems and its related symptoms is a particularly troubling area for parents and teachers. By their nature, externalizing behavior problems are difficult to overlook, they are usually annoying and disruptive, and they may be dangerous at times. These behaviors also create problems for other individuals who are in the same environments as the children or adolescents who exhibit them. Externalizing behavior problems can be effectively assessed, and some of the assessment methods may be useful in developing intervention plans.
