Abstract
ASSOCIATIONS have been found repeatedly between both childhood disruptive behavioral disorders and adult sociopathy in parents and similar disorders in their offspring.1-7 Furthermore, separate genetic and environmental influences—and perhaps a synergistic interaction—have been demonstrated many times for these same disorders. This assertion is supported by an extensive literature consisting of both adoption8-19 and twin studies20-22 Other reports show that juvenile behavioral disturbances are strong predictors of adult antisocial behavior.2,5,23-27Keywords
