This chapter introduces the history of disruptive behavior disorders. The achievements of the Chicago Reformers, who introduced the idea that juveniles should be granted exceptions before the law based on their immaturity, began the process of bringing the world of development, psychiatry, and medicine to delinquents. August Aichhorn, the director of the Vienna Reform School system, is primarily responsible for the idea that abnormal development underlies crime, and, as such, psychoeducational approaches can be helpful in restoring the youth. The concepts of treatment and rehabilitation factor in to this view. The chapter ends by introducing the complexities of diagnosing antisocial and aggressive behavior. |
