Excerpt
Impaired self-regulation is the hallmark of the disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders. These disorders are usually multidetermined and associated with physical or verbal injury to self, others, or objects, or with violating the rights of others. Although common, they are frequently underappreciated and ignored. Many experts consider these conditions externalizing disorders because they place a person into conflict with others. On the other hand, internalizing disorders—such as the mood and anxiety disorders—are inwardly directed and, although causing distress, are less likely to affect others.
