“…While we relied solely on parents' reports of their children, we believe this has provided us with reliable data, as evidenced by numerous studies demonstrating a high level of agreement between parental ratings of their children's behavior and the behaviors and feelings the children truly exhibit, especially in instances of disordered behavior (Cantwell, Lewinsohn, Rohde, & Seeley, 1997;Hartung, McCarthy, Milich, & Martin, 2005;Sourander & Piha, 1997).…”

Due to the higher diagnostic prevalence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in females, there exists a dearth of literature on the manifestations of BPD in men and minimal information on male developmental trajectories to the disorder. To identify precursors of BPD in males, surveys were administered to parents about their BPD male offspring and non-BPD male siblings. Questions covered aspects of probands' lives from infancy to late adolescence. BPD offspring were identified through self-reported clinical diagnoses and standardized diagnostic criteria embedded within the survey. A total of 263 male offspring (97 meeting strict criteria for BPD and 166 non-BPD siblings) were studied. The authors found that parents describe the early emergence of a constellation of symptoms in their BPD sons that include separation anxiety starting in infancy, body image concerns in childhood, and impulsivity, emptiness, and odd thinking in adolescence. This trajectory differs from the developmental course found in females diagnosed with BPD.

“…Its values range from 1, representing the most functionally impaired child, to 100, representing the healthiest. The CGAS has been widely used in Finland in inpatient settings (Sourander and Piha 1997) and residential settings (Hukkanen et al 1999), and its validity has been high. In the present study, a cutoff point of 40 was used to indicate a very low general functioning among inpatients.…”

Compared with data from a similarly conducted study in 1988, there is an increase especially in the use of antidepressant medication in inpatient care. Considering the increasing use of psychopharmacotherapy during the last 10 years as shown in the present study, the lack of research-based data on the efficacy and safety supporting their clinical use is a major problem in the treatment of disabling childhood mental health problems.

“…In its original examination, the CGAS showed low correlations with the Conners Hyperactivity Index (Shaffer et al, 1983). Subsequently, it has correlated with the CBCL's Total Problem score and Competence scores (Bird et al, 1990;Green et al, 1994;Sourander and Piha, 1997) as well as with IQ, involvement in special education, suicide attempts in youths at risk of depression (Weissman et al, 1990), and measures of family dysfunction (Vandvik, 1990).…”
