Abstract

This study evaluated the relationship among internalizing and externalizing behaviors and functional communication in school-age children with problematic sexual behaviors. Significant differences were found in the degree of conduct problems and hyperactivity, specifically suggesting that children who communicate their needs more effectively exhibit less hyperactivity and fewer conduct problems.
