Abstract
Despite the fact that it has been only over the course of the past two decades that developmental psychopathology has emerged as a new interdisciplinary science (Achenbach, in press; Cicchetti, 1984a, 1984b; Rutter & Garmezy, 1983; Sroufe & Rutter, 1984), it nevertheless has longstanding roots within a number of disciplines (Cicchetti, 1984b, in press; Gollin, 1984). Historically, a number of eminent scientists, theoreticians, and researchers have adopted the premise that knowledge about normal and abnormal development can inform each other.
