Abstract
Abstract Thomas M. Achenbach (b. 1940) developed the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment ( ASEBA ), which is used worldwide for ages 1½–90+ years and is available in 90 languages. Its use is reported in over 8,000 published studies from 80 societies. Achenbach earned his BA from Yale in 1962, was a German government fellow at Heidelberg University during the following year, obtained his PhD from the University of Minnesota in 1966, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Yale Child Study Center. Beginning in 1967, Achenbach was a faculty member at Yale and then research psychologist at NIMH . Since 1980, he has been professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Vermont, where he is president of the nonprofit Research Center for Children, Youth, and Families. Achenbach's research has identified numerous syndromes and broader groupings of problems, for which he coined the terms “internalizing” and “externalizing.” He authored the first book for the discipline that he dubbed “developmental psychopathology.”
