Answer to Question 1

First, although research generally shows that most treatments are effective in reducing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and oppositional behavior, fewer than 20 of treatments demonstrate evidence that they reduce impairment in life functioning.

Answer to Question 2

Categorical classification systems such as DSM-5 are based primarily on informed professional consensus, an approach that has dominated and continues to dominate the field of child (and adult) psychopathology. Dimensional classification approaches assume that many independent dimensions or traits of behavior exist, and that all children possess them to varying degrees.
