Describe any special problems associated with the assessment and diagnosis of children's psychological problems

Answer:

Few children or adolescents identify themselves as having an emotional or behavioral problem. Instead, some adult, often a parent or teacher, decides that the child has a problem. Sometimes, a child is unable to recognize or admit to his or her difficulties. Other times, however, the problem is as much the adult's as the child's. For example, a stressed parent may have trouble coping with normal misbehavior. This can make it challenging to figure out where the problem lies.
