Abstract: Pervasive developmental disorders, or major disorders in childhood, used to be classified as childhood psychoses. The term psychosis has no precise meaning but was used to describe severe conditions in which the child had a severely impaired sense of reality with little insight into his or her own behavior. That behavior is frequently different from normal behavior.
