TL;DR: Research suggesting that the presence of a callous and unemotional interpersonal style designates an important subgroup of antisocial and aggressive youth with particularly severe, aggressive, and stable pattern of antissocial behavior is reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested multimethod and multi-informant assessment of parenting practices in families of clinic-referred children between the ages of 6 and 13 (n = 124) and families of community volunteer children, who were comparable to the clinic group on age and sex of child, family ethnicity, and parental marital status and found that children's report was no1 useful for assessing the parenting constructs using either a global report format or multiple telephone interviews.

TL;DR: Although children and adolescents with both severe conduct problems and elevated CU traits tend to respond less positively to typical interventions provided in mental health and juvenile justice settings, they show positive responses to certain intensive interventions tailored to their unique emotional and cognitive characteristics.

TL;DR: The results support the decision to subdivide the heterogeneous category of DSM-III-R attention deficit hyperactivity disorder into three subtypes and the resulting DSM-IV definition appears to be somewhat less biased toward the symptom pattern typical of elementary school boys.

TL;DR: The traits showed predicted associations with sensation seeking and the Big Five personality dimensions, supporting the construct validity of the measure of callous-unemotional traits.
