Abstract
HOMEM, Tatiana Carvalho et al. Perturbações de comportamento externalizante em idade pré-escolar: O caso específico da perturbação de oposição. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.1, pp.31-48. ISSN 0870-8231.
Externalizing Behavior Disorder (EBD) are one of the major causes for searching mental health services in preschool children. However, there still is no agreement to what concerns making diagnoses in preschool years. With this literature review, it’s our goal to make a general description of EBD, specially Oppositional Disorder, in preschool years, and also to discuss about the difficulties in diagnosing in this period and the different developmental trajectories implicated in the emergence of EBD. Another goal is to identify the main etiological factors for the development of EBD and to reflect about some orientations to future research.
