Why have there been calls for an alternative definition for behavior disorders? What features would be included in an alternative definition?

What will be an ideal response?


Recommendations for alternative definitions are based on the subjective nature of the existing criteria.
Mention of the popular acceptance by professionals of the term behavior disordered would illustrate the move away from internal causes (such as neuroses and psychoses) to external manifestations (behaviors), which can be more objectively measured.
