Project description
 

The current proposal aims to delineate the field of "odd" symptoms in childhood from both a theoretical and empirical perspective, and attempts to integrate the resulting oddity-structure within a dimensional, child-specific taxonomy of early personality pathology. The predictive validity of these symptoms for adult dysfunction will be studied accross groups. Its implications for DSM5 will be explored.
