Mary K Rothbart. J Clin Child Adolesc Psychol. 2004 Mar.

Abstract

Provided is a commentary on articles written for a special section on temperament and childhood disorders. Temperament's contributions to the development of childhood disorders are considered both generally and specifically. Questions are raised about the use of terminology in the field, particularly the term difficult. Differentiation of outcomes and predictors is discussed, with a view to identifying multiple pathways to adaptation or disorder.
