Abstract
Psychiatric and developmental disorders with onset in early childhood are o ften missed and commonly overlooked by adult psychiatrists. These disorders have important continuities into adulthood and are powerful predictors of chronicity, comorbidity, and severity. It is essential that they are recogn ized and taken into account in the assessment and treatment of the adult pa tient.
