Abstract
The prevalence of psychiatric disorders was determined among dependents of military personnel by means of a semistructured parent interview, a behavior questionnaire completed by the child's teacher, and a diagnostic play interview with the child. Among 100 consecutive children ranging in age from 8 to 11 years, there were 35 with a psychiatric disorder. Conduct disorders were more common in boys: neurotic disorders were found more frequently in girls. In general, mothers of children diagnosed as having a psychiatric disorder differed little from those of children without an apparent psychiatric disorder in regard to their assessments of their children's behavior or emotional state.
