Abstract
Children (58) with aggressive conduct disorder who had been admitted to a psychiatric ward and 33 with other disorders (excluding autism and organic syndromes) who were also inpatients were studied. Nurses'' observations of the children''s behavior on the ward sharply separated the 2 groups and confirmed the parents'' and teachers'' descriptions of the conduct disorder children''s behavior at home and in school. Items in the clinical history also separated the 2 groups; for example, conduct disorder began at a much earlier age than the other disorders. The evidence gives further support to the validity of aggressive conduct disorder as a psychiatric syndrome.
