Abstract
Correlations between scores derived from structured interviews with 299 disturbed children aged 6-18 and their parents indicated low-to-moderate levels of agreement regarding the presence and severity of child psychiatric symptoms. Agreement was higher on behavior and conduct problems than on anxiety, fears, obsessions-compulsions, psychotic symptoms and affective disturbances. Parents reported more child behavior and conduct problems than children, whereas children reported more affective and neurotic symptoms than parents. Parent-child agreement also increased sharply with age.Keywords
